What makes Michael Rosen's funny stories so appealing?

They are really humorous. Michael Rosen has a unique way of telling stories that can make both kids and adults laugh out loud.

One of his funny stories is 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'. It has a really engaging rhythm and the idea of going on this wild adventure through different terrains like the long wavy grass and the deep cold river is so much fun. The repetition in the story makes it easy for kids to join in and it always gets a laugh.

Children would definitely enjoy them. The funny elements are perfect for kids who love to laugh and be entertained.

Funny simile stories are appealing because they create vivid images. For example, when you say someone is like a clumsy bear on ice, it immediately gives you a mental picture that is both funny and easy to understand.

The humor in them. For example, in 'Calvin and Hobbes', Calvin's over - the - top reactions and his unique way of seeing the world make it funny. The simplicity also plays a part. Most comic stories have simple plots that are easy to follow. Like in 'Peanuts', it's just about the daily lives of the kids and Snoopy.

One reason is that they expose the absurdities in society. For example, in a satirical story about a fashion show where models walked on stilts to show 'new height in fashion', it makes people laugh at the extremes the fashion world can go to. It's appealing because it's a humorous way to show things that are wrong or over - the - top.

The humor in Panchatantra stories often comes from the naivete of the characters. For example, like the tortoise in the story I just told. His simple curiosity led to his downfall in a really comical way. This kind of simple - mindedness of the characters is what makes it appealing.

The humor. It lightens the mood of the often - serious detective genre. For instance, in a story where the detective is always making silly mistakes but still manages to solve the case, it's really funny.

The characters are often a big part of it. In 'The Wizard of Oz', the unique personalities of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion create so many humorous and heartwarming moments. Their interactions are full of charm. Also, the magic and the unknown in these stories are exciting. We never know what kind of strange creature or magical power will show up next, like in 'Howl's Moving Castle' where the castle itself is a source of wonder and amusement.

The characters play a big part. In funny cartoon stories, the characters are often exaggerated. Take the Powerpuff Girls. They are tiny but super powerful girls. Their interactions with the villains and with each other are full of humor. They have distinct personalities which lead to funny moments. Also, the colorful and imaginative worlds in these stories are very attractive. We can be taken to places like a magical underwater world in 'The Little Mermaid' which is also filled with comical elements like Sebastian the crab's over - the - top reactions.
