In their learning phase, if you teach kids joke and explain them they consider it as achievement. They went to home and tell their parents and grandparents that joke with pride. This book is based on many jokes around animals that can teach kids about how they live or make noise.

Nice book. My nephew read it whenever he visit my house.

Knock Knock Moo Who (and other silly animal jokes) by Brenda Ponnay is a collection of fun and silly jokes for young readers. Such as the classic "Knock Knock. Who's there? An interrupting cow. Interrupting Cow-- Moo!" Knock knock jokes are matched with bright illustrations in this wacky, funny picture book for preschoolers and up.

Knock Knock Moo Who is exactly what you would expect from the title. The jokes are simple, silly, and fun, Sadly most of them were far from new to me since my two kids are older and well versed in jokes of all kinds so I have heard way too many. With the digital preview I read there were some formatting issues, which made the jokes and images not lines up quite right- but I fully expect that to be a non-issue in the final product. It was a cute collection, but nothing that stood out as a must have for me.

This is one of those books that parents will kill the grandparents for buying. It will cause a never ending line of knock knock jokes. All kidding aside it is a fun and cute book and the kids are going to love it.

My 3 and 5 year old children are into knock knock jokes but some of these didn't make sense to them. There are a couple they liked and now tell over (and over and over) but I don't know if I would recommend someone buy this book. And it's a bit young for my students. It might be fun for preschoolers and kindergarteners.

This was a very silly book with some cute illustrations. Some of the knock-knock jokes didn't quite land, so to speak, but I'm sure kids will get a kick out of it!

Young kids love knock, knock jokes and the ones they tell often don't make sense but they will laugh their heads off anyway. When I started reading this book to my grandson, he didn't get it (he is only three) but when I told the jokes to my grand-nephew who is five, he thought they were hilarious. He actually started telling some of them over and over to his parents. The illustrations are simple and colourful and that is what got the attention of my grandson. This is a great book to read to young children and a teacher could use it to get her students thinking up their own jokes. This will be a hit in primary classrooms. I can see many teachers pretending they lost this book as kids will want to read it over and over as well as tell the jokes over and over or try to change them and make up their own, which probably won't make sense. A cute idea.

Kids of all ages love riddles! Kid's especially love Knock Knock jokes and will laugh their heads off trying to figure out the answers.

This simple fun book is perfect for the younger set. The pages are clear and uncluttered and the illustrations are kid-friendly and greatly enhance the text. I am sure these jokes will be read over and over again until memorized then tried out on family members and friends. Jokes are always the perfect way to share the last laugh.

Who doesn't like a good Knock Knock joke? This book is filled with new and different to me Knock Knock jokes. The illustrations in the book are cute and the kids enjoyed looking at them. This is a short book with 1 joke per page. Some of the words would be a bit hard for beginning readers but I would say 7 and 8 year olds would probably be able to get through it without many problems.

Knock Knock, Moo Who? (and other silly animal jokes) is an enjoyable children's book written and illustrated by Brenda Ponnay.

According to the book summary: "Silly knock knock jokes are paired with Brenda Ponnay's bright and fun illustrations in this wacky, funny picture book."

Within thirty pages, this easy-to-read book spotlights quirky and funny jokes, primarily about animals, that are geared for young kids, particularly preschoolers to first graders.

I can see young children really enjoying this book and finding the jokes really funny. Some of the jokes I didn't find funny but I'm not part of the target audience. Has some great images

Cute illustrations and a nice idea. There are some jokes here that kids will love.

There are a lot that almost don't make sense and I didn't find funny, but it may get kids started thinking up some of their own. In fact, that's what some of these sound like - the result of a brainstorming session with kids who are just getting the hang of what a knock-knock joke is.

[ I included an illustration in my Goodreads review. ]

Thanks to NetGalley and Xist Publishing for a review copy.

Cute and silly jokes bound to make the littles squeal and giggle in delight and amusement.

A reasonable book for sharing – very vividly and cheaply coloured artwork interrupts a variety of 'Knock Knock' jokes, all based on animals. There's not a lot here – just the right amount to point at and explain – but it's perfectly appropriate for a quick flick.

Joke books, especially "knock knock" joke books are quite popular in my Media Center. The younger students think they are hysterical and "Knock Knock, Moo Who" will, undoubtedly, get the same reaction.
The book is so sweet and will keep everyone amused, especially the young ones.
