What's invisible and smells like a carrot? Bunny Farts! Burps, farts, boogers, and other bodily functions take center stage in this collection of illustrated jokes sure to be adored by the preschool through the early elementary set.
I received this book from Net Galley in exchange for a fair review.
After raising three children I can sadly attest to the fact that children between the ages of 5 to 12 (okay, sometimes 95) truly love gross jokes about farts and snot and puking and silly stuff like that. The illustrations were blessedly not tooooo detailed. As Ponnay says, we can only hope the child into whose hands this book falls will only read it out loud to us once and thereafter keeps their tittering laughter to themselves.
This is a perfect book for your very young kid, and I'll tell you why. When my daughter was in kindergarten she wanted to tell me jokes, but she couldn't. She couldn't think of any that were actually funny. So I found a book, similar to this, and picked two jokes for her to learn, so that she could tell them when she wanted to tell a joke. I don't remember the first joke, but the second book was "What do cats read?" "The Mewspaper".
Yes, that is the level of the jokes in this book, all centered around snot, which is the perfect age bracket for these jokes, and perfect for kids to laugh at, and as the author says, read out loud to your parents at least twice.
"What color is a burp?" "Burple ".
Happy reading
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review
This is a fun (if not slightly revolting!) book of jokes suitable for young children. I am sure not all parents will be happy with the contents of this book (jokes about farts, burping, snot, etc), and several of the jokes are a play on words which will go straight over the heads of young readers. However, if you've got young ones into telling jokes then I'm sure this book will suit.
I did find the colour scheme a little dull, but was pleased to see nice bold text which stood out well on the background colours.
We all know kids love poop and fart jokes, but did you know that young children's attraction to "potty humor" is actually a sign of healthy development? No, seriously - I work in family preservation and this is part of the curriculum I have to teach parents when going over child development! This is a collection of illustrated "gross humor" jokes that little kids will love to laugh at. Most were ones I've heard before. It's not a super impressive book, and probably not the end-all-be-all of bodily function humor, but it gets the stinky job done.
Note: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.
This was a very simple joke book geared to kids age 6 to 9 or so. The jokes are all just a little gross which elementary age kids will absolutely love. There were a couple that just did not seem to fit with the others and a few that kids might not understand but overall, a fun read with simple, gross illustrations to match the book. I can see some of these jokes being told over and over. A cute book for primary classrooms and school libraries. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.
This is a quick and easy to read joke book for children. Like the images and the back page was very good from an adult's point of view! 3 stars from me, can see some of these being said over and over!
Fun and gross jokes that are sure to have kids laughing and parents rolling their eyes. My favorite: what do you get when the queen farts? A noble gas. haha..:)
