About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child needs a pure dose of fun, a way to build social confidence, or a tool to engage a reluctant reader. "Michael Dahl's Big Book of Jokes" is a massive collection of hundreds of kid-friendly jokes, riddles, puns, and knock-knocks, all organized into fun, easy-to-navigate chapters like "Animal Antics" and "School Shenanigans." The book's primary emotional theme is pure joy, but it also helps build self-confidence as children learn to 'get' the jokes and share them with others. Perfect for ages 7-12, it's a fantastic screen-free resource for car trips, family gatherings, or just a quiet afternoon that needs a little laughter.
