I received an e-ARC of this book from Vicki Whiting and Fox Chapel Publishing through NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book lives up to its name it is full of super silly jokes that kids will enjoy. A lot of the jokes in this book reminded me of bad dad jokes, they either make you laugh out loud or audibly groan. If the kids that read this are anything like me they will remember a couple of jokes they find hilarious and tell them to people 30+ years later.

Such a fun collection of jokes that my daughter enjoyed very much and that I think my elementary students will enjoy also.

While I was reading this book with my 9 and 5 yr old my 13 yr old decided she needed to come and check it out too, which turned into a great family time reading through and laughing. The 5 yr old didn’t quite get most of them but the 9 and 13 enjoyed it. The illustrations were a great addition to the jokes.

Kids love to tell riddles and jokes and this book is going to supply them with a giant fresh new batch to torture, I mean entertain, everyone with. This collection feels fresh and new to me, though you will find some classics in it as well. They're collected by general theme on the pages, so you can find the kind of joke you're looking for. The illustrations are bright and whimsical and the text is easy to read. I also like how they mixed things up a bit, like with a couple of pages, you have to match the riddle to its punchline. I got a total kick out of this book as an adult and think kids are going to love it, too.

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

A book with silly jokes. The illustrations were funny, bright and colourful. There are some knock knock jokes too

Some examples
What flies through the air and goes zzub zzub zzub? A bee flying backwards
What kind of snakes can you find on a car? Windshield Vipers
Knock! Knock! Who's there? Adore .Adore Who? Adore is between us! Open up!

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the eARC

Fun, easy to read jokes that will appeal to many younger students. The drawings are fun and colorful. The punchlines are written upside down under the joke - so the reader has a chance to guess before reading the answer.
I like that they are grouped according to topic - fish jokes, pirate jokes, etc.

This book is full of all sorts of jokes from animals, to monsters and everything in between. I read this book with my three boys and they loved it. They laughed hysterically at the jokes and they were sad when we got to the end. I loved how there were a variety of jokes. It wasn’t all just regular jokes or only knock knock jokes. Also the variety of subjects made it so there were jokes that each of my boys would enjoy. I recommend this to parents and kids who love a good joke to make a kid smile.

I received a free ecopy of this book from Netgalley for my honest opinion.

Super Silly Jokes for Kids has wonderfully corny jokes. The graphics in the book are actually what impressed me, as they were bright, fun and engaging. This is a perfect book to add to my classroom library for my reluctant readers to enjoy.

My seven year old loves making silly jokes and I got this book mainly for her. She enjoyed reading the jokes as well as looking at the illustrations. The silly jokes are the best ones for little minds ! Thank you netgalley for letting me download this fun book.

Thanks to NetGalley and Fox Chapel Publishing for providing an advanced copy of this joke book in exchange for an honest review.

Super Silly Jokes for Kids is filled with age appropriate jokes and puns that made me smile. I actually might write a few of these down to annoy my friends with.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the punchline being written upside down and backwards. I understand that if the punchline was an answer to a trivia question why it would be formatted like this. It doesn't really work with the format of joke telling. You give the question and the punchline, typically.

I also think that if there was a more unified art style throughout the book, it would look better and feel more cohesive instead of looking like a bunch of clip art thrown together or pages taken from different books. It's really hard to explain.

Still cute and funny though. This would be a good place to harvest your dad jokes from.

An adorable funny kid level book of jokes that will have them all cracking up with laughter. This will be great for parents, babysitters, aunts and uncles or older siblings to use when spending time with the younger children.

I personally am an aunt with several young nieces and nephews. They absolutely love making up "knock knock" jokes. This book has plenty of those, and now I get to tell them the jokes!

This book is authored and illustrated by the Publisher and Art Director of Kid Scoop. It's a company that provides learning resources and educational activities to teach and entertain kids, used by both families and schools. Kid Scoop has been around for a while and has had great success. I think this book will be another success as well.

This is a super cute book. While admittedly below my age range, it is perfect for my 7 year old daughter. She loves telling jokes and hearing jokes, so this book was right up her alley. It is chock full of plenty of jokes for all kinds of kids (in age and in heart). The format is easily readable with most of the punchlines being written in smaller text upside down- so an easy flip upside down with a physical book. Each page is full of entertaining, colorful illustrations pertaining to the theme of the jokes (pirates, vampires, etc). I would definitely recommend this as a nice gift purchase for anyone that loves joke books.

These is a perfect book for long travel with kids . It sure engage them . The jokes are funny , silly and enjoyable . My third grader loved this and finish it on one go . Great gift for joke loving kids .
But the upside down answer is not so practical with protecte ePub version . I couldn’t send it to my kindle and so we read it in laptop . And for each joke we have to look from the top of the laptop for answer. I think even in printed books each time turn the book upside down for answers is something annoying for me . Other than this we love this book .

This is such a fun book filled with amazing illustrations and silly jokes. I love the layout and how each page “jumps” out at you! I’m known to sling a few silly/corny jokes here and there. This book gives me jokes for days!

Super Silly Jokes for Kids (Kid Scoop) by Vicki Whiting was a hit with my son!

This book was really fun to read and look through. Unlike some joke books, this one isn’t filled with the same boring text. Each page is unique and includes fun cartoon illustrations that correspond to the jokes on the page. We both enjoyed looking at the drawings, even if my little one didn't always understand the joke.

The jokes weren't overly original, but they were still fun. It was also nice to have the punch-lines written upside-down so the answer is harder to guess. And although the book has over 200 jokes, it didn't take very long to go through them all. Which really, is fine - there's only so much joke book we can handle before we need a break.

I'd say it's pretty good for different aged children who understand humor at different levels. Overall, a fun break from learning books, and a humorous picture book to boot!

Review to come in September 2020 on blog/goodreads.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

With how the world is while I was reading this (currently April and 3/4 weeks into stay at home) I needed some jokes. Something silly. Something funny. Something to make me giggle and laugh. I bumped against this book and of course I had to click that beautiful read now button. Give me!

Did it work as an ebook however? Eh, not so much. I read these books on my pc, but since you have to turn your head to read what the answers are (or spend some time deciphering them which causes you to forget what the question was). I tried putting it on my tablet. First with the ADE app, but that one just was terrible I am sorry but oh boy what a hot mess. Then I tried with a converted ebook that I got out of ADE's own library. Well, it worked on a tablet but stuff was missing, images went wrong. And flipping a tablet isn't the best for my wrists as my tablet is not the lightest. So I wasn't enjoying myself as much as I would if they just had put the answers there in a normal way or if I had the chance to read this one in paperback.

But the jokes were funny and I love how many there were. How there were pages full of knock knock jokes (really there were so many silly knock knock jokes and I learned many new ones), I liked how there were various subjects and had very specific jokes per subject. From teacher jokes to cowboy jokes.. Yes, most jokes will make you groan as they are very punny. I had fun reading them aloud to my hubby and see him shake his head and laugh when I told him the answer. I also liked the illustrations (well, as far as I could see them as a lot of them were broken due to the way I had to read this copy), the style fits with the silly and punny jokes.

In the end I did like reading this one and it did lighten my mood by a bit. I would recommend it, but only if you can get the paperback.

Great fun! This colorful joke book has fun illustrations to add to the corny jokes that kids are likely to love. They are grouped by subject, a few to a page. The one thing I'd change is that I wish the answers weren't written upside down, since my kids like to just read jokes to the family and don't want to have to flip the book for every answer (and on some e-readers, it keeps trying to flip itself back). That's a small thing, though, and it's a fun book that's worth that little hassle.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.
