The kind of wordplay jokes that children love

This book contains a series of jokes where the gag is often a play on words. For example, one of the jokes about Wisconsin is: What did the girl say when she saw the milk carton start walking across the table? Look at the Milk-walkee! As someone who has had to listen to children tell me their jokes and riddles, I can say that in my experience these are jokes that young children love. There seems to be a special place in their sense of humor for jokes based on a play on words. I have heard hundreds of such jokes and the ones in this book are some of the best. Reading them will also help the child learn about the states, as nearly all of them are based on some fact about that state. I recommend this book as a simple educational tool that will also be fun to read. Not just silently but to the parent when the child needs to attract some humorous attention.
