This book organizes its jokes by topic (e.g., animals, school, food). The last chapter offers eleven (and a half) tips for putting together a standup comedy routine. While some jokes are familiar or corny, the clever arrangement and useful advice--Brewer takes his comedy seriously--make this a good supplemental purchase. Comical black-and-white illustrations add to the fun.
