Let Me Tell You a Joke

What’s the worst present you could give to a hedgehog?

A beach ball!

Ask any teacher and they will be able to tell you some of the many jokes they have been told over the years! Children love jokes - the cornier the better- and ‘Let Me Tell You a Joke’ is sure to be a winner!

Bursting with fifty jokes, the book offers a treasure trove of jokes in different forms, including good news/ bad news, why did the..?, what’s..? Not only will children learn the jokes and try them out on friends, they are sure to be inspired to try and create their own using these models. A QR code is included which can be scanned to access a free audio version of the book which also offers advice from the author on how to deliver the perfect joke!

Colourful, whimsical illustrations add greatly to the appeal of the book which is beautifully presented (I love the candy stripe hard cover under the jacket!). The pictures add a layer of visual humour to the jokes, perhaps supporting younger children in their understanding as well as being a joy in their own right!

Engaging and entertaining, ‘Let Me Tell You a Joke’ will be a firm favourite- and a great addition to bookshelves!
