If you read to your children this is a great book. I bought it for a 7 yr old and 4 yr old. They love jokes. This book is filled with jokes.
I bought this book for a grand daughter who likes jokes and she likes to read and be read to. The jokes are a hit and morph into the dictionary words. The book needs to define more of the words found in the book.
