Most fathers have their own peculiar form of quirky humour, often involving special puns or comical catchphrases that are repeated year after year. As well as being fun reading for children, this book may also get a few fathers giggling. Perfect for beginning readers who need a bit of humour in their reading exercises. Dad Jokes may perhaps be children’s first encounter with written humour and this book will give you plenty of authentic dad humour for your money. Maybe you can teach Dad some new jokes too? Clever puns and bone-dry humour make the jokes easy for kids to tell, too. Lise Dragland, who works as a creator at the Something Good communications agency, has been mulling dad jokes for a long time. Illustrator Cathrine Sandmæl has breathed life and movement into the dry jokes with her colourful and howlingly funny illustrations.
