Silly Stories Only Book Club

Silly Stories Only Book Club

Last fall, The Curious Camps Company hosted High Tea Tales, an elementary book club that met upstairs at the store. It was the loveliest book club full of pinkies-up, sugar-cube-filled tea, a smorgasbord of finger foods, and kids dressing up just for fun. Kids discussed stories, and we heard lots of laughter up there as books led them through possum acting lessons, ridiculous cures for the wildest childhood illnesses, solving mysteries around the farm, and even adventures involving rock collections and chicken calls. It was cozy, creative, a little silly, and very much about enjoying good books with friends.

This spring, The Curious Camps Company is turning the page. If it ain’t broke, make it sillier. They’re putting away the proper pinky-up tea parties and leaning fully into shenanigans. And we are excited to host this crazy crew once again!

Do you like jokes?
Do you think farts are funny?
Do you love a ridiculous accent and googly eye glasses?

Then Silly Stories ONLY is the book club for you.

Join Hannah from The Curious Camps Company for a super-silly book club that reads only funny stories—the kind that make you cackle, snort-laugh, and maybe roll on the floor. Each month dive into wildly frivolous and nonsensical books, play preposterous games, scarf scrumptious snacks, and celebrate stories that do not take themselves seriously.

Before each meeting, families receive a monthly support email with discussion questions and optional extension activities. At the club, kids enjoy a themed silly snack, talk about the book together, and then jump into games and hands-on activities inspired by the story.

This goofy gang meets the second Thursday of every month from 3:45–5:45 PM, upstairs at Wheatgrass Books. And Wheatgrass offers a discount on all book club books, because silliness (and reading) deserve a perk.

Silly stories have a special magic: even the most reluctant readers often get pulled in, and these book picks make excellent solo reads or family read-alouds. Check out the spring line up of Seriously Silly Stories:
