Summer’s nearly gone.
A new school year’s beginning—a happy but often challenging time for families.
Sometimes you just need to laugh.
And the grand-boys are coming! Many days in September we’ll have all four running around our house. The eight-year-old especially enjoys jokes—hearing them, reading them, telling them.
So I had to pick up this bright new collection of jokes from Zonderkidz!
The cover says 250 jokes, but the title page says 500. I did a little counting, and I think 500 is the right number.
You’ll find Q&A jokes, knock-knock jokes, and tongue twisters here, and funny word play—lots and lots of word play (which is actually educational, right?)
What do you get when you cross a parrot and a centipede?
A walkie-talkieWhat kind of light did Noah install on the ark?

Who’s there?
A little old lady.
A little old lady who?
I didn’t know you could yodel.Six slippery snails slowly slid seaward.
There’s an entire chapter full of animal jokes, plus a bonus section that includes riddles, with the answers upside down at the bottom of the page.
I’m tall when I’m young and short when I’m old. What am I?
A candle
I’m looking forward to having fun with grandson #1 and this little book!
