Big Buddy Jokes series.
These mildly funny books will get children practicing their reading while trying out the jokes and riddles on others. Each volume contains clearly delineated questions and answers, with related spot illustrations amid plentiful white space. Some examples may be confusing ("What did Caesar say to Cleopatra?" / "Toga-ther we can rule the world!"), but puns such as "Water we waiting for?" are giggle-worthy. There are four other spring 2017 books in this series. Review covers these Big Buddy Jokes titles: Knock Knock Jokes, Ridiculous Riddles, School Jokes, and Animal Jokes.
