Review: 

I am not a child... but I sure do act like it when I can and this book was hilarious. I carried it around in my bad for a few days and would pull it out before dinners and at work randomly and all the jokes are appropriate and funny, and mostly bad but bad in a good way.  

The jokes are broken up by type - Q&A, knock-knock puns, riddles, and there is a section of tongue twisters. In the very back, the last section is a "Your Turn" section where it gives kids prompts and helps them come up with their own jokes. I love the DIY feature here (although writing in books makes me cringe). Each section has a short paragraph about what the types of jokes are and how they work/ are delivered. The whole book is also illustrated and the illustrations are cute, funny, and fit with the jokes on the page.

If your kids love jokes and you are looking to hear some different ones... this is the book for you and them. There are over 800 jokes, so it won't be the same joke every five sections. :)
