Let's be real – kids' joke books can be painfully corny, but this one? It's the good kind of cringe that actually makes children (and let's admit it, adults too) giggle uncontrollably.

The book's strength lies in its organization – divided into categories like animal jokes and knock-knock classics, it's perfect for short attention spans. My 7-year-old would randomly shout 'Why did the alien visit the flower bed? TO SEE HIS WEEDER!' during dinner, and suddenly we're all laughing with spaghetti hanging from our mouths.

What surprised me most was how it became a reading motivator. Kids who normally groan at books will eagerly flip through these pages to find the perfect joke to annoy... I mean entertain their parents. The lack of illustrations might seem like a downside, but it actually encourages kids to use their imagination.

The jokes are indeed clean – no awkward explanations about inappropriate content needed. Though fair warning: you'll hear the same knock-knock joke approximately 47 times per day. The Darth Vader reference did fly over some younger kids' heads in our test group.

While the tongue twister section is weak (only 3 pages), the book makes up for it with sheer quantity. At 126 pages, it's joke density is impressive. The corniness is its charm – these are the same wholesome jokes we told as kids, now passing to a new generation.

Pro tip: Keep it in the car for road trips. The 'things to think about' section sparked some surprisingly deep conversations between fart jokes.
