I recently came across two very entertaining books. They are perfect choices for reading aloud to a sick child, who is bored in bed and needing some cheering up.
(written and illustrated in 1958, by Marion Holland, grades K-3)

The second "just for fun" book I'd like to mention, was recommended to me by a friend and her avid library-going preschooler. It's a newer book: RHYMING DUST BUNNIES
, written and illustrated by Jan Thomas, and wasn't around when my kids were little. But if it had been, the laughs we'd have gotten from it would have made allergies and all the efforts we made against them more bearable! 
This is one of the silliest and funniest books I've ever come across. It's about three Dust Bunnies who are having fun rhyming. A fourth friend, "BOB", just doesn't quite seem to catch on. They don't understand his offering of, "Look!", in their attempt to rhyme, "far, jar, and tar" with "car". And when they try to rhyme "bug": "rug...hug...mug", his response is, "Look out!" Assuming he's just rhyme challenged, but not realizing he's simply warning them about an approaching "monster with a broom" (a vaccum), they get swept along and...well, you'll have to go find the book to see how the hilarity ends!
Jan Thomas has written and illustrated several other picture books that are just as fun!
