You've gotta love a collection of good jokes. This collection is all sports-based and divided up by sport. Readers will want to note that the beginning of each section does start out with a Bible reference. And while this book claims to be clean, fun jokes for kids, I felt like a few of them were a bit more geared toward adults and were some cheap shots. It's more that they are clean in that there is no bad language nor sex and they are not dirty jokes in the more traditional sense.

You have a mix of silly stories with a punchline and riddles that you know kids will repeat over and over again. Some are going to be brand new, and others are groaners you have heard before.

Thank you to the publisher for fulfilling my review request via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This book came at the perfect time. I have a 7 and 9 year old that LOVE to tell jokes, and they are recycling the same ones I used to tell as a kid. This book focused on mainly sports related jokes. They were funny, clean and wholesome. I am glad they were able to get some new material.


I received a copy of this book from NetGalley - all thoughts are my own.

Love the cover, title, and basic premise of this book of clean jokes for kids who love sports. So many sports included and a Bible connection with a light touch at the start of each new chapter. The anecdotes and stories seem a bit dated for the 8-12 crowd, but the Q&A jokes and riddles are on target. Overall, could be a good choice for many kids and families. I think one of my grandsons would enjoy it quite a lot.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This is a fantastic joke book for sport lovers and contains every sport I can think of. The book is divided into sections for each sport which is a fantastic idea and makes it so much easier to find the jokes you loved. I love how this is clean and free of swearing or crudeness to which makes it suitable for all ages.
Great job Barbour press!
