4.0 out of 5 stars This book invites young minds to think divergently., September 5, 1998

This review is from: Jokes, Puns, and Riddles (Hardcover)

This was a book I used to write notes to my children on their lunch napkins. Every day a riddle, joke or pun was the topic of conversation that evening. Now, I use it when I send email to my granddaughter. A little humor with jokes that do not make fun of anyone, is high on my list of musts. I also teach 6th grade, and they are constantly asking for more puzzles. They have to listen carefully and may have to look at a word or phrase with a different perspective to find the answer. Example: "Wally: Do you know how to play baseball? Sally: Sure I do. Wally: Then tell me how you hold a bat? Sally: By the wings of course."

I had this book as a child. The book helped form my sense of humor and was my constant companion. The edition pictured unfortunately is NOT the one I received. I wanted the one in the picture......that is the one I had as a girl. However, the jokes, puns and riddles are still the same!!! GREAT book for kids of any age!

This review is from: Jokes, Puns, and Riddles (Hardcover)

these jokes are so funny that they don't even make sense!! it will keep you laughing for hours and you don't even know why. its great. here is one of my favorite jokes from the book: "how do you get off an elephant?" answer: you don't, you get off a duck!" WHAT THE HECK? does that make any sense what so ever? no, but it made me laugh. this is why it inspires me to write a joke book of my own. maybe i could be as clever as david allen clark one day.
