National Geographic Kids Just Joking 2: 300 Hilarious Jokes About Everything, Including Tongue Twisters, Riddles, and More
Question: What’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys? Answer: Anywhere with a bunch of kids and this book. This second collection of jokes has the same format as the first: a roughly five-inch-square trim size blazing with bright colors and sharp photos. Inside are 300 jokes of all sorts: knock-knock, riddles, question-and-answer, and tongue twisters. (Try wrapping your tongue around “shelter for six sick scenic sightseers.”) A “Joke Finder” at collection’s end groups the jokes according to type. While the jokes are eliciting delighted groans (“What did the grasshopper say after it hit the windshield? ‘If I had the guts, I’d do it again’”), fun facts about animals appear on most pages, too. And, of course, those arresting National Geographic photos and general high-level production design set this apart from similar titles. Grades 2-5. --Connie Fletcher
