I remember， as a kid， telling knock-knock jokes to whatever adult would listen to them。 Most of them were corny as this type of joke can be but adult would laugh and that would make me laugh too。Carole P。 Roman， in a departure from her children's book stories， has taken on the art of joke telling in her book of 800 jokes for kids。 I am sure as she was researching and writing， she told these jokes to her own grand-kids。 I know I got a laugh and sometimes groan from all the jokes in the book。 Ther I remember， as a kid， telling knock-knock jokes to whatever adult would listen to them。 Most of them were corny as this type of joke can be but adult would laugh and that would make me laugh too。Carole P。 Roman， in a departure from her children's book stories， has taken on the art of joke telling in her book of 800 jokes for kids。 I am sure as she was researching and writing， she told these jokes to her own grand-kids。 I know I got a laugh and sometimes groan from all the jokes in the book。 There are a variety of jokes to be found， that are not just knock-knock jokes but tongue twisters， riddles， and everything else in between。 The book also includes sidebar "stats" that make this book unique。If you have a budding comedian then get this book！5 stars。Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from the author to review。 The statements here are 100% my own opinions and may differ from yours。 ~Michelle 。。。more

Carole P Romance sent me The Big Book of Silly Jokes for Kids and after reading it， I wanted to get this review out before Christmas。Here’s a silly state for you: Laughter is good for you！ It decreases the chemicals in our bodies that make us sick and increases the ones that make us feel better。Do you have a little comedian or prankster in your household？ Do you want something to help entertain the kiddos while taking that road trip？ Are you someone who loves a good laugh？We have jokes， riddles， Carole P Romance sent me The Big Book of Silly Jokes for Kids and after reading it， I wanted to get this review out before Christmas。Here’s a silly state for you: Laughter is good for you！ It decreases the chemicals in our bodies that make us sick and increases the ones that make us feel better。Do you have a little comedian or prankster in your household？ Do you want something to help entertain the kiddos while taking that road trip？ Are you someone who loves a good laugh？We have jokes， riddles， tongue twisters， puns， knock knock jokes…and silly stats and wonderful illustrations to add that something extra。 We have fun with pirates， vegetables， snowmen， critters， sports， if you can think of a subject， there’s probably a joke about it in this collection。I found myself trying to solve the riddles and say the tongue twisters。 I wouldn’t be surprised if you do too。At the back of the book， Carole P Roman supplies some ruled pages and helpful hints to create your own， or your children’s own， funny moments。Just because a joke is clean， doesn’t mean it can’t crack you up。 I think， like me， you will find some of these familiar and others a nice addition to you repertoire。I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Big Book of Silly Jokes for Kids by Carole P Roman。See more at fundinmental 。。。more

I love all the jokes in this book。 My favorite joke involves a grandfather who uses his dog to clean the dishes。 I also like the joke that involves a hamster and a parrot。 Reading the tongue twisters in this book is a fun challenge too。 The illustrations by Dylan Goldberger are delightful to look at。 This book is also filled with fascinating facts。 I learned that Kwanzaa is a holiday that honors African Americans in the United States。 It is a holiday that celebrates faith and creativity。 I learn I love all the jokes in this book。 My favorite joke involves a grandfather who uses his dog to clean the dishes。 I also like the joke that involves a hamster and a parrot。 Reading the tongue twisters in this book is a fun challenge too。 The illustrations by Dylan Goldberger are delightful to look at。 This book is also filled with fascinating facts。 I learned that Kwanzaa is a holiday that honors African Americans in the United States。 It is a holiday that celebrates faith and creativity。 I learned that it takes three days to travel from the earth to the moon。 The jokes in the book are very funny。 The facts are insightful to read。 I enjoy everything about this book by Carole P。 Roman。 。。。more

I’ve been reading this on FaceTime with my grandson who lives in another state， then my granddaughter started listening in， also。 Even if the jokes weren’t so cute， it has been well worth the time spent laughing with my grandkids。 Very nice little book; we’ve all been enjoying it。

My granddaughter （age 10） liked reading some of the jokes to me， and we both had some laughs。 Some of the knock-knock jokes and riddles are at least as old as I am， but I guess good humor never goes out of style。 I keep it handy for any time I want to chuckle--or groan--and for when the grandkids visit and get bored。I received a free copy of this book from Amazon Vine in exchange for my honest review。
