"Crack Yourself Up: Jokes for Kids" by Sandy Silverthorne --Book Review


About the Book:
Any kid can be a comedian with a little help from award-winning author/illustrator Sandy Silverthorne's Crack Yourself Up Jokes for Kids. Perfect for kids ages 6-12, this zany collection of one-liners (Did you hear about the missing barber? Police are combing the city.), knock-knock jokes (Knock, Knock. Who's there? Pizza. Pizza who? Pizza nice guy, don't you think?), riddles (What's red and goes up and down? A tomato in an elevator.), puns, and funny lists represents some of the world's best clean humor. Add in the author's hilarious illustrations and cartoons, and kids will get hours of fun with the kind of laughs that make milk come out your nose--that is, if you're drinking milk while you read!


My Thoughts:
I thought that this book looked like it would be something my kids would enjoy. When I handed it to my daughter, she eagerly cracked it open and immediately started giggling. My other kids thought it was fun, too. There are a variety of kinds of jokes and riddles, so there is plenty of things to appeal to different people. Some were old, tried and true jokes, but others were new. I'm sure the kids will get a lot of use out of the book.
