Bookroo's summary

Leonardo's humor has been his hallmark since birth, but when his teacher demands he curb his comedic antics, he's faced with an impossible challenge. Can he suppress his funny bone long enough for the class to learn, or will his irresistible urge to entertain get the better of him? As he struggles to stay serious, the classroom becomes a stage for unexpected hilarity. Will Leonardo's promise to never be funny again hold, or will laughter prove too powerful to resist? Discover the chaos and charm of a boy who just can't stop being funny.

From the publisher

Leonardo has been funny since he was born: he was a funny baby, he was a funny toddler, he was a funny first-grader. But now, his teacher Mrs. Gomez asks him to stop being funny so that the class can learn. He tries his best, but he just has to make a funny face, then tell a funny joke, and then show a funny drawing - with predictable results. And when he finally seriously promises faithfully never to be funny again, he makes the teacher laugh so hard she falls down on the floor laughing!
