Silly jokes & giggles

Let the grins begin! Philip Yates and Matt Risinger know a lot about making kids smile, as proven by their previous track record: "Best School Jokes Ever" h/b ISBN 0-8069-9832-6, "Biggest Joke Book in the World" h/b/ ISBN 0-8069-0853-X, and "Greatest Jokes on Earth" h/b ISBN 0-8069-2062-9.

They do it again with this comic collection covering topics from Car-ha-ha to Polly want a crack-up? And...did we mention detention after school? Why was the magnet sent to detention? Because of his negative attitude. See sign on the pizza van? "Seven days without pizza makes one weak" This book features hundreds of playful puns, short and snappy teasers and silly giggles.

Humour really is important in the development of a child's grasp of language and logic.

Genuine learning takes place during word play, and the knowledge developed during joke telling helps to reinforce similar skills acquired in the more formal context of the classroom.
