Can you write a joke that will make author Helen Rutter laught out loud?

To celebrate The Funniest Boy in the World written by bestselling children's author Helen Rutter – packed with brilliant jokes and one-liners to make kids roar with laughter – we're giving young readers the chance to win a signed book bundle, £100 worth of funny books, plus their name in lights!

Billy Plimpton took to the stage and captivated the crowd at the triumphant ending to The Boy Who Made Everyone Laugh, and in the sequel, he's going to go viral. National Book Tokens and Helen Rutter challenge kids aged 13 and under to submit their own joke (via a parent or guardian!) in less than 30 words – and make Helen roar with laughter!

To get started, here are two hilarious jokes from the book:

'What happened when the tiger ate the comedian? He felt funny.'

'Why did the egg get thrown out of class? Because it kept telling yolks.'

The writer of the winning joke will receive:
  • Signed sets of books by Helen Rutter: The Funniest Boy in the WorldThe Boy Who Made Everyone Laugh, and The Boy Whose Wishes Came True
  • £100 worth of funny books from Scholastic 
  • A personalised neon name sign

5 runners-up will receive a copy of all three books. 

The winners will be chosen by Helen Rutter after Thursday 9th February.
