This book is awful. I mean...it's getting at an important point---clean jokes for kids. That would be fine, but these aren't funny. Ugh! Some of these are just awful. Maybe if a really spunky kid with a goofy laugh was reading them to you it might be better.

Chock full of jokes kids from all over the country sent to Rosie O'Donnell, along with a few of their drawings. Kids will love it!
