Review: 
Disclaimer: This book got to my home and I gave it to my husband. I have been on the receiving end of this book for about two- three weeks now and this is my review based on that time.

Upon getting this book in the mail, I was very excited. I really enjoy bad jokes.. all jokes really and this seemed like a lot of fun. I flipped through it once and it was filled with a joke for each day of the year with some illustration to mark a new month and then just the date and a joke on the pages, normally 1-2 per page. 

The jokes have been hilarious and I think that all dads and non-dads... love of dad jokes should have this book. The book now resides at my husbands office where he happily shares it with his team... I feel for them... but I think it is for the better (aka my sanity). 

If you are into jokes and love a good (bad) dad joke, this is a great book of daily ones that you can share every day... and by the time you get back to January you can probably tell them again and get new laughs.

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. :)
