A paper-over-board volume combining previously published Halloween- and Christmas-themed joke books. Elliott's kid-friendly question-and-answer and knock-knock jokes are pun-heavy ("Q: Why did the witch take a nap? A: She was hex-austed"), corny, and not all that side-splitting. Still, younger children up for browsing may find a couple of good ones to use on friends and family during the holidays.
