Bad Dad Jokes for Halloween ... what is not to like about dad jokes, cornier the better. This is a children's book of approximately 40 pages, one or two jokes per page. Several made me laugh. Some I've heard before, but several were new to me.

Release date of July 29, just in time for Halloween. (Unbelieveably I've also seen Halloween candy for sale already at my local grocery store.)

Many thanks to author Chris Cate, NetGalley and publisher Callisto Publishing | Callisto Kids for approving my request to read the advance review copy of Spooky Silly Halloween Jokes by Chris Cate in exchange for an honest review.

Halloween is my favorite holiday so I am here for all the Halloween jokes. My kids really loved this one too.. even my teenager laughed at these! We read this hours ago at this point and my 3 year old is still re-telling her two favorite jokes.

This book is cute but short and fun for the whole family. Perfect little book of jokes for the upcoming spooky season.

I received a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Kid review: It was pretty funny but I didn't like some of the jokes.
Mum review: This book gives you exactly what you expect. It was a collection of simple one-liner jokes on Halloween themes, with some cute cartoon illustrations. The jokes are mostly puns related to witches and brooms, mummies and bandages, werewolves and dogs, etc. There were quite a few that I had to explain to my 7 year old because she didn't know all the multiple meanings of the words or understand the puns. There were a few that genuinely made me laugh, but they were overall fairly repetitive. Completely to be expected for a kids joke book! So, if your kid is into this kind of thing, it's worth a try.

A great book of "Dad" jokes for all ages. Yes, they are corny, but you got to love them anyway! Sure to be a hit with your children (they will groan for sure). A must book for telling your children when Halloween approaches.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Perfect for young children, this is a silly book of jokes and puns for Halloween. When trick or treaters come to my house, I always ask them for a joke. I hope next year's visitors read this book so they're prepared with a joke!

This was just the cutest joke book! Yes, it is geared toward an younger audience but I think anyone can enjoy it. I loved the illustrations that go along with some of the jokes. I would definitely recommend this, especially if you have young children or if you just love a cute little spooky joke.

These jokes were great.

Humor is so subjective, so I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book, especially since it's marketed for children. But, omgz, I've been an adult for many years and I loved it. The jokes were clever, witty, and perfect for the Halloween season. They were age appropriate for children; however, there are definitely some jokes in here that adults will appreciate (probably more than children).

A great Halloween joke book for the whole family!

Spooky Silly Halloween Jokes is exactly what it's title says. I can see this being a resource for elementary school teachers during the month of October if they wanted to share school appropriate jokes. The book is also very colorful and fun.

Thanks to Callisto Publishing and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

This is an awesome joke book! I thought I knew a lot of Halloween jokes, but almost all of these were new to me! The illustrations were the perfect blend of cute and creepy and there was a good range of complexity in the jokes making this a great book for families to share.
