Children's Literature
Be very choosy when you give a child a joke book¾you will be a captive audience for your budding comedian's newfound comedic repertoire. Loosely grouped into thematic sections focusing on subjects such as school, sports and dinosaurs, this collection of around 150 jokes and riddles will provide plenty of fodder for junior Lettermans and Lenos. Many of the riddles focus on animals, and several jokes dealing with computers and the Internet make the book seem up-to-date. Although it is probably inevitable that some of the weaker jokes will fall flat, most of the "punny" jokes will be hits with their audience. Harpster's bright and cheerful cartoon illustrations are a good match for the tone of the text. The subject index is a somewhat unusual inclusion for a short joke book, but this feature might help young readers find just the right elephant joke. One of the "Giggle Fit" series of tongue twisters and joke books. 2001, Sterling, $12.95. Ages 4 to 8. Reviewer: Norah Piehl
