Katie Woo's Joke Books series.
Illustrated by
Tammie Lyon.
Characters from Fran Manushkin's Katie Woo early chapter books appear in these volumes of mostly wordplay-based jokes. They include plenty of old groaners that will likely still be new to primary-aged budding comedians; it is also well suited to emerging readers, with copious (sometimes boldly colored) background space amid the cheery illustrations. "How to Tell a Joke" tips are appended.
