Matt Groening
Bart Simpson, America's favourite underachiever, lays claim to his own comic collection. In an homage to the comics he enjoyed as a kid (such as Little Lulu and Peanuts), Matt Groening presents stories about Bart and the kids of Springfield with adults taking a backseat as comic foils. Big Book of Bart Simpson features several short stories that can be enjoyed by a younger reading audience, but there are plenty of laughs for kids of all ages.

Her mother had learned this trick from her mother, and her mother had learned this from her mother before her: it had also helped an endless string of her family laugh through suffering. In I'm Laughing Because I'm Crying, Youngmi jokes through the retelling of her childhood as an offbeat biracial kid in Saipan, a place ...
