Product Description

Kids and jokes, jokes and kids--it's a natural marriage. Now comes the mother of all joke books. Doctor jokes and elephant jokes, banana jokes, robber jokes, dentist jokes, light bulb jokes, chicken-crossing-the-road jokes, teacher jokes, computer jokes, movie star jokes, vampire jokes-they're all here, by the thousands, in a gut-busting, all-encompassing collection of more jokes than any kid could tell in a lifetime.

For the class clown and the family comedian and the shy kid who's looking to make new friends, Jokelopedia is the indispensable resource. There are the old classics and newfangled variations, and every shade of joke, pun and riddle in between, all organized by subject for easy reference. But Jokelopedia also takes it a step further. Included are tips on how to tell a joke (never laugh during the punch line); profiles of famously funny people, such as Jim Carrey, Eddie Murphy, and Lucille Ball; devilish practical jokes to hatch on friends, family, and, best of all, complete strangers; and descriptions of comedic styles and methods, including improvisation, impersonations, and slapstack.

For ages 7-12.

Customer Reviews

Great for Scouts
This is the best joke resource I've found for entering jokes in my quarterly scout newsletter. Very age appropriate material. Recommended for all youth.

Silly and dumb, yes, but very, very funny
Purchased for my 11 years old nephew, who loves "dumb" jokes. It's great for him because the format is mixed: some stories, some 2-3 line jokes and some cartoons. It's always a challenge motivating an 11 year old boy to read and this is a good solution.

amusing
Jokelopedia is an amusing giggle out loud book. Many nice jokes.

Kids and adults will enjoy this one.

I am a clown always looking for funny banter. Thanks
