Read, Laugh, Bond: Maison de Nanny’s Pick of Playful Books

It’s late in the evening, the day has been long, and whether you’re winding down after a whirlwind of snacks, stories, and school runs — or sneaking in a quiet moment before bed — reading is always a wonderful idea.

At Maison de Nanny, we believe reading isn’t just about words on a page. It’s a connection. A chance for parents, nannies, and au pairs to share giggles, new words, ideas, and even languages. It’s a cozy moment that helps everyone unwind, laugh, and grow together.

We love reading — but we decided to take it one step further. We went on a mission to find books that don’t just entertain but light up storytime with laughter for both kids and grown-ups.

So, if you’re looking to add a bit of fun to your bookshelf, here are our Top 5 Books for a Good Chuckle:

1. The Book With No Pictures by B.J. Novak

Because sometimes the silliest sounds come from the grown-ups! This one’s pure laughter fuel for any bedtime.

2. Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems

A classic! Watch kids burst into giggles as they tell the cheeky pigeon, “NO!” for the hundredth time.

3. Oi Frog! by Kes Gray & Jim Field

A rhyme-filled riot of animals sitting on the most unexpected things. Perfect for language play and giggles galore.

4. Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin

Who knew dragons and tacos could cause so much chaos? This one’s a hit with every crowd.

5. The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt

Hilarious, clever, and oddly relatable — who hasn’t felt like a tired crayon once in a while?

Whether you’re reading to unwind after a long day or to start one with smiles, remember: a few pages and a good laugh can make any day a little brighter.

Happy reading from Maison de Nanny — where stories are shared, laughs are louder, and imaginations run free.

Sincerely,

Maison De Nanny
