The World's Best Jokes for Kids Volume 1: Every Single One Illustrated by Lisa Swerling, Ralph Lazar

Great fun. Good selection of quick jokes, and cute illustrations accompanying them. I particularly enjoyed some of the fresher pop cultures references, like Frozen and Instagram. There are some well-worn jokes in this collection (e.g., tuna fish). But there's also a Star Wars pun, an excellent Shakespeare joke, and one about a polar bear I'll be telling for weeks. Not to mention, a couple of the jokes were downright hilarious.

These really are the world’s best jokes. By the way, the exaggeration rates have gone 1000% percent in the last year. Most of the jokes were new to me and the illustrations made the jokes funnier. There are a few riddles too, but those I’ve heard before many times. Some jokes I really liked are:
What do you call a dinosaur wearing a blindfold?  A doyouthinkhesaurus?
Why did the scarecrow win a medal?  Because he was outstanding in his field.
My sister and I often laugh about how competitive we are.      But I laugh more.
And last but not the least
What is a bat’s motto?  Hang in there. This one is my motto as well. 
 This book has 130 pages full of such jokes.
Thank you to Net Galley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for giving me an ARC of this book.
