Illustrated by
Daryll Colins.
Each slim volume offers seven chapters of simple sports-related jokes, loosely organized by theme ("Punny Pitchers"; "Rowdy Refs"). There are occasional laugh-out-loud moments among the many groaners throughout the jokes themselves, the cartoony illustrations, and the cornily captioned photos of on-field action. The same "Joke Dictionary" and "How to Tell Jokes" section ("Don't laugh at your own joke") is appended in each volume. Review covers these titles: Sports Illustrated Kids Baseball Jokes and Sports Illustrated Kids Football Jokes.
