Crack Yourself Up Jokes for Kids by Sandy Silverthorne

I don't know about your kids, but my 3 kids 10 and under love telling jokes. They find joy in making others laugh with them. So, when I see a joke book, I like to pick it up and give the kids some new, funny material to make us all laugh.  Revell has a new joke book out for kids by author Sandy Silverthorne called, Crack Yourself Up Jokes for Kids. This book is filled with jokes, stories, knock knocks, and riddles.

This book is for kids ages 6-12. I thought the book had some pretty funny jokes inside. Some are ones I have heard over the years, and there are others that were new to me. Here are 3 that I found funny:

"Susie was so excited that she put together a puzzle in just 10 days even though the box said 2-4 years." (pg.39)

"Max: Grandma, how old are you?
Grandma: 39 and holding.
Max: How old would you be if you let go?" (pg. 56)

"Mom (on the first day of school): What did you learn today, Andy?
Andy: Not enough, apparently--they want me to come back tomorrow." (pg. 115)

Now one thing I must warn about is that there were a couple of jokes that talked about a kid being dumb or calling someone dumb. Here is are 2 examples:

"Jason is such a dummy that during a power failure at the mall, he got stuck on an escalator for two and a half hours." (pg. 64)

"The teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said, 'At the end of this ruler is a real dunce!' I got sent to the principal's office when I said, 'Which end?'" (pg. 134) 

So, this is one thing to keep in mind with this book. I certainly wouldn't want my kids repeating this to their teacher at school.
