From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7–Australian author Andy Griffiths has masterfully written this very humorous piece, read by Stig Wemyss. Griffiths, whose story is told in first person, chronicles a series of practical jokes, including episodes that involve fake vomit, dog poo, and bananas, among other things. In one story, Griffith tells of delivering a Gorilla-gram and, while dressed as a gorilla, stopping to observe restaurant goers, mocking them much like people do with gorillas in a zoo. He not only mimics their actions, he "moons" them when he is shooed away, carrying his gorilla antics a bit too far. The police show up, believing that he is a real gorilla, and attempt to subdue him and return him to the zoo. Most of Griffith's antics backfire on him, and the anticipation is appropriately written into the story. The decidedly Australian flair in both the writing and reading of this title adds to the sense of adventure. Music and sound effects are sprinkled throughout. This book will be prankster heaven for upper elementary and middle school students, particularly boys. Just plain fun, it is a worthy addition to audio collections, and may be enough to encourage reluctant readers to check out other titles by the author.–Kirsten Martindale, formerly Menomonie Public Library, WI

Customer Reviews

The best book I've ever read
I really like this book. I chose just joking because it is so hilarious and crazy. I specially like it when Andy jokes about nonsense things. I really like the way the author writes little tricks and jokes on each page.
P.S. if the author doesn't write more books I'll cry.

realy funny
This book was so good! It was the most funny book ever made.when I sat down and started reading the book I coud not stop. I think the authours message was look on the bright side. So if you are looking for a good book read Just Joking.

The Crazy Joker
Have you ever looked for a book that kills you with laughter? Well, here is your answer. Just joking is a book by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton. The mission of this book is just plainly making you get a heart attack (of laughter). In the book every chapter has a different joke. It is not a normal book of jokes but it is a story in which the character does the jokes. Read it!!!!
