5.0 out of 5 stars Very goofy!, May 1, 2002

By	Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Jokelopedia (Paperback)

This is the joke book of your dreams! It's as thick as a phonebook, and crammed full of jokes, knock-knocks, and funny stories. In addition, the book has a mess of silly cartoons, practical jokes, suggestions for would-be comedians, silly songs, and spotlights focusing on comedians, funny shows and so forth.

My kids picked out this book, and they love it. It is very goofy! Heck, they aren't the only ones that liked it; I pored over it, and pulled out wonderful jokes for a future speaking engagement. This is a wonderful book, one my entire family recommends to you!

4.0 out of 5 stars You son will love it-- when you're 8 all the jokes are new, November 1, 2001

By	Mother of Two "sad mom" (PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jokelopedia (Paperback)

As third graders start to learn to manipulate language, jokes and puns are great teachers. Plus, nothing beats a good "Nyuk, Nyuk" with your buddies. My son took this with him to theatre camp and the gang enjoyed it during lunch and breaks. He really liked the features on famous funny people like Jim Carey. You may regret hearing the old jokes a million times, but for a good clean laugh, it's a winner.

3.0 out of 5 stars some crude, rude jokes, May 16, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Jokelopedia (Paperback)

Bought this book for my daycare group (6-11years). I ripped out several pages which were not appropriate for my group before giving it to them. I didn't like the one about the "pretty lady" who "farts quite loudly" or the one about a frog in the blender (red and green and goes 80 miles an hour). How about "everybody's doin' it...pickin' their nose and chewin'it". Most of these were in a section called " 'Snot Funny". The rest of the jokes were okay. Use your own judgment!
