A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"Both teachers and students will enjoy these books. Each title contains jokes, riddles, tongue twisters, and wacky definitions. Classroom and science titles each have numerous jokes teachers can use in their lessons. Let's Go covers transportation funnies, and Let's Eat is funny and gross on the same page. Some jokes, though recycled, still make kids laugh. Each title includes suggestions for writing your own jokes and tongue twisters. Readers can even submit their own joke to the publisher's Web site, and it could be published! Amusing illustrations complement and provide visual explanation for some of the humor. These are perfect for a quick laugh, and telling to parents and friends. Recommended."Library Media Connection

This book is very colorful and fulfilled. I can see myself using this daily in my classroom. My students or myself could pick a joke, riddle, or tongue twister at the end of each day. It could be so fun and interactive!!

Joke books are some of the most popular checkouts in the library. This is a fun collection of school jokes. They are grouped by topic - such as students, lunchtime, homework, and rules. Here are a couple of examples, "Why can't you whisper in school? It's not aloud."
or "Why didn't the flower go to school on its bike? The petals were broken." Kids will be memorizing these to share them with each other and their families. Watch out - there may be milk spewing everywhere at lunchtime.
Jokes and riddles are a great way to get young readers interested in language and word play. You can't really get the humor without understanding what the words mean, recognizing homophones, and other conventions of language. I can imagine that teachers might have their students create class books with jokes and riddles of their own. A welcome edition for any school library.

I used this book as a way to get the kids engaged and get their focus back on me after an activity. It worked well and allowed them to have some fun in the process. They also used problem solving skills to try and solve the riddles in the book.
