This is a decent clean joke book with many Christianity-based jokes, but it is misleading to call it The World's Greatest Collection of Dad Jokes. I think of dad jokes as real "groaners", and often pun-based.- and jokes that dads tell to their kids. The chapter "For those who punderstand" comes close to that and has several good dad jokes within. But that's chapter five, and the rest of the book would appeal more to older audiences. The first chapter, In Hindsight, focuses on jokes about the elderly. Some are pretty decent but I would consider few to be "Dad Jokes" - would a kid understand jokes about the trials of aging? I could see a reverend telling these jokes to his congregation or a group of older parishioners and getting a great reaction, though. As titled, I think this book falls short. "Dad Joke" is a term we hear more and more often these days so I can see the publisher's desire to create a collection with this name. The amount of actual jokes in this book that fit this definition is small, so I would say two stars as titled, three stars if it was called Good Clean Jokes or similar and three and a half stars if it was titled Jokes for Ministers or something to that affect. I feel ministers would be the real audience for this collection.

The World's Greatest Collection of Dad Jokes is, as the name suggests, a collection of jokes that range from one line puns to dad like stories that just beg for a groan. There are more than 500 dad joke organized in topics—Silly Kids, Action/Reaction, All Puns All the Time, Love & Marriage, One-Liners, Faith—so dads (and fans of dad jokes) can find the right joke for every occasion.

The World's Greatest Collection of Dad Jokes is a solid collection, but I did not find the jokes to be new, or incredibly funny. I thought some were good, and did induce a grin or a grin. However, I was hoping for new jokes to use with my pun and silly joke loving son. This collection is well organized and fun, but did not offer me the number and quality of jokes that I was really looking for. It was good enough for a coffee table book or bathroom reading- but not something that I would keep handy for when I need a good joke to add to my arsenal. It was not horrible, I just had high hopes for the book and was a little let down.

Ejemplo de "dad joke":

"What do you mean I'm not qualifies?" demanded a job applicant. "I have an IQ of 150. I scored 1,480 on the SAT. I was magna cum laude in graduate school."
"Yes," replied the hiring supervisor, "but we don't really require intelligence around here."

WHAT KIND OF DAD JOKE IS THAT. No me causó absolutamente nada y ni quiero seguir porque todos dicen lo mismo: es malísimo.

Typical Dad jokes. Some good some bad :-) Some had me laughing so hard I was crying :-) It was fun to read to the family

I love cheesy jokes and puns, so I was looking forward to this book. Unfortunately, none of the jokes were funny. I like the clean cover design, but that's all the good I can say about this book.

I received an ARC from NetGalley.

Funny collection of dad jokes, some are funny, some need thinking and explaining, overall a good respite from the day issues.

This is an interesting collection of jokes organized into sections by category. There were some good jokes that I shared with my husband and we got a chuckle out of them.

The formatting in the ARC kindle version made it difficult at times to see where one joke ended and another began.

Thank you to NetGalley and Barbour Publishing for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for advanced e-copy in exchange for an honest opinion.
The jokes in the book are clean, quite amusing and should appeal to a broad spectrum of ages. There are jokes that youngsters will enjoy and many jokes that fathers and grandfathers will recognize from their own experiences. Please note these are not in the "adult" genre - every pun can be told in mixed company.

*I received a free copy of this product to facilitate this post, however you, my readers, come first and all opinions are my own.

I always love a new clean joke or pun, so I was excited when I got a copy of The World's Greatest Collection of Dad Jokes: More Than 500 of the Punniest Jokes Dads Love to Tell. What I didn’t realize was-what I thought the title implied the book would be about-was completely different from what the title actually says the book is about.

The title implied this was the best collection of funny jokes and puns. What the title actually says is, this is a collection of the greatest dad jokes, you know, jokes dads like to tell.

So, when I opened up this book and started reading the jokes, yep, that’s right, reading, not laughing, and I read this like a book, I knew I missed something. Now, that doesn’t mean that there wasn’t anything funny in the book, because there were a few jokes that made me smile. However, I was let down from what I thought this book was.

So, this book is probably good at what it says it is–being a collection of jokes and puns told by dads. For the joke book that I thought it would be, I was very disappointed in this book.
