When life is funny, make some jokes about it. Billy Plimpton has a big dream: to become a famous comedian when he grows up. He already knows a lot of jokes, but thinks he has one big problem standing in his way: his stutter. At first, Billy thinks the best way to deal with this is to . . . never say a word. That way, the kids in his new school won’t hear him stammer. But soon he finds out this is NOT the best way to deal with things. (For one thing, it’s very hard to tell a joke without getting a word out.) As Billy makes his way toward the spotlight, a lot of funny things (and some less funny things) happen to him. In the end, the whole school will know -- If you think you can hold Billy Plimpton back, be warned: The joke will soon be on you!

This book takes the book 'Let's Just Laugh at That!' and adds engaging stories, practical steps, and ¿laughter weapons" to teach children how to recognize and beat the lies the enemy tries to tell them.

All the lie-defeating weapons of this book are laughter activated, because we believe laughing at what the enemy is saying and planning is key to helping us overcome the power of lies (Psalm 2:4). A follow up to the first 'Let's Just Laugh at That for Kids!,' this book has 20 new lies to laugh at and more scriptures in every chapter. It's best for ages 6-10 and great as a devotional for parents, children, and groups.
