My Dad Doesn't Even Notice

I'm not entirely sure about this book for the younger end of this age range. Some 6-7 year olds sat completely deadpan and were quite unaware of the point of the joke. More mature children enjoyed Dad's total inability to enter into the spirit of his son's imagination (or is it imagination? Discuss!). As ever-more-exciting things happen around him - elephants going down stairs, babies turning into frogs, cavemen in the kitchen - and as every cliche he utters appears to come to life, Dad continues his everyday activities obliviously. The whole book is a shared joke between the author and ourselves; it might be a little too knowing for some tastes, but is certainly entertaining and thought-provoking for many children.
