Silly Jokes about Food
(Silly Joke Books)

Gr 2-4--New, clean jokes can be hard to find sometimes. Many joke books rely on old chestnuts that can make little sense to 21st-century kids. The author of these books does a great job crafting dozens of knock-knock jokes, riddles, and classic two-line jokes that avoid outdated phrases (like "old chestnut") and culturally specific idioms, making this a great choice for readers learning figurative language and exploring homonyms and double meanings, not to mention English language learners. One activity per book turns jokes into action--with no pranks! Funny photo illustrations keep the pages attractive and lively. Just a few (one to three) jokes per page mean that pages will turn almost by themselves. VERDICT A nice update to your stock of inoffensive joke books.
