It'll take you 30 minutes to read through these jokes. Some you might already know (I did). But some are quite funny.

As a lover of “dad” jokes, I found these to be great!

I will be telling these to my dad and son, even though I’m a mom.

A quick and funny read. A definite must have in an arsenal of jokes!

Unlike previous iterations of Dad Jokes I really enjoyed this one, with some that are very "shareable". Well put together. Enjoyable.

As a dad, grandfather, and schoolteacher, I’m always on the lookout for chances to add humor to the situation. If my audience is inclined to roll their eyes at me, I just roll them right back. Thanks for the laughs.

As it turns out, my kids have purchased another book of dad jokes by Elias Hill for their dad. Our kids are teens so it was mostly too make fun of him. They've gotten many miles out of the jokes in that book. I'm sure we'll be purchasing this book as well.
This is an all new batch of jokes that's certain to make dads smile and kids groan. Some of these are really funny. There's also a fair amount to make you roll your eyes. It will be a fun addition to the other one in our possession.

This book is a fun, silly book to buy someone as a gag gift or stocking stuffer. Not the best jokes, but definitely dadlicious. Thanks for the ARC!

When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time reading joke books. I mean a lot of time. I checked out all the joke books from the library, purchased as many joke books from the Scholastic Book Fair as I could, and generally made a study of how jokes were made. I'll be honest about it, though... none of these had especially good jokes in them. The best jokes are almost always told to you, contain elements of surprise, and are rarely written down.

My evaluation of this particular book of jokes is that it is very much in the vein of those old joke books I used to read, but with illustrations that don't actually add much to the jokes themselves. I guess a few of them were "oh that's humorous" funny, but none made me laugh. I can see giving this book as a gift to a new dad. "Here's what you will think is funny now." But it makes me a little sad.

Dad jokes aren't something you read and re-tell. They either come naturally or they don't. This is a book that nobody asked for but might make you chuckle. And if you chuckle just once, it might actually be worth the three dollar cover price.

But if you don't chuckle once? I would not be surprised by that either.

Thanks to author/publisher/netgalley for an ARC of the book.

Excellent, crisp read. There were some witty, smart and hilarious jokes in the book. Must read to relieve stress. The format is good with pictures, but easily readable in kindle too. So there is no reason one should skip this book.

This is a book that has many standard groan-worthy dad jokes with a collection of new ones as well. I found some of them quite funny. Others were so-so, but that's the nature of a dad joke. I ended up buying this as a Christmas gift for my friend's dad who constantly tells these types of jokes at different functions. He's going to love having new ammo! #netgalley #assaultwithadadlyweapon

This book reminds me of my dad. It's incredibly punny and just a fun read. It is appropriate for all ages. It is a quick read that puts a smile on your face even after you roll your eyes.

I enjoy these little books. Some funny jokes, several I had not come across before but many I had. Read it in half an hour.

A truly groan worthy read. Loved the format. Easy to flick between the various one liners. So bad they were good.

Exactly what it says! I can’t wait to share this with my husband, purveyor of many bad dad jokes!

The description for this book of Dad jokes recommends to read it when you need to lighten the stress of the day with a groan. As soon as I saw that, I had to jump on this book. Today is Election Day in the United States and I am a tad bit anxious about the outcome. This light-hearted book had me groaning, snorting and guffawing at its’ lame dad jokes. The layout is simply a drawing of a dad giving the setup and then the punch line for a typical corny dad joke on each page. This book just came out on Novemeber 2, 2018 but it looks like it is one of a series. Highly recommended for when you feel sucker-punched by life and need a dad moment.

Thanks to NetGalley, BooksGoSocial Publishing, and the author for an electronic review copy.
