This is a super cute book that any feline lover will find amusement in it. The adorable pictures and colorful backgrounds on each page makes the book pawsitibly purrfect . The jokes are alright, couple of them did make me chuckle and the puns are cute but feel like some are a bit overly used.
I would say this makes for a good coffee table book or a gift stuffer for anybody that just loves anything to do with cats. I myself love cats so I found it cute. Thank you NetGalley and Chronicle Books for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

What a fun book for cat lovers! The jokes are accompanied by cute illustrations, which I really enjoyed. Some of the jokes were good, but there were also some bad ones. They kind of remind me of G rated dad jokes, or jokes my 11 year old nephew may tell me.

The Impawsibly Good Book of Cat Jokes by Thomas Nowak is a delightful collection of feline-themed humor that’s sure to tickle your whiskers! With 165 clever and family-friendly jokes, it’s a great pick for cat lovers of all ages. Some puns are groan-worthy (in the best way), while others are genuinely laugh-out-loud funny. It’s a paws-itively charming gift book or coffee table pick-me-up. I knocked off one star only because a few jokes felt a bit repetitive, but overall, it’s ameowzing fun!

This was a cute joke book that had a fun play on words all involving cat vocabulary. Young kids would not understand many of them as they do take some prerequisite of knowledge. But those who know cats, will definitely find them fun. There were a handful of them I didn’t quite get, but the author did do a nice job with the majority of the jokes and were relatable.
The actual cat drawings were cute whereas many of the pages had what looks like Christmas wrapping paper with kitty related drawings

An absolutely incredible anthology of jokes. As a cat lady myself, I will be adding these into my dad joke rolodex. Enjoyable for any age, this would make a great coffee table addition in any cat lover's home!

😺Big thank you to Thomas Nowak, Chronicle Books, and NetGalley for the opportunity to check out The Impawsibly Good Book of Cat Jokes in a digital format. I will share my review to Amazon, Goodreads, and Barnes & Noble upon release.

😺Loved this! This would make for a great gift to any cat owner/lover. There's lots of punny jokes and the art is cute. The color scheme is cohesive and makes for a good decor piece as well as something for your cat to lay on, haha! The cover is so cute and definitely caught my eye right away. Cat owners will love the jokes! Thanks again.

Very cute cat joke book. I shared the jokes with my cat loving 9 year old and she also find them funny. The knock knock jokes were her favorite. Most of them are unique and I hadn’t heard them before. The book design is also very cute with colorful pages and a nice consistent color palette throughout.

The book itself was cute, loved the theme and the artwork. However, some of the jokes just didn't land at all. Like I get dad jokes, but I mean... didn't even crack a smile. But I do think its an idea for the cat lover in your life - and maybe young'ns would appreciate the jokes more than I.

This book provided me with some laughs and chuckles. It’s a cute book with fun illustrations. Definitely going to keep it in mind for gifts for fellow cat lovers.

As a lover of felines and puns, I absolutely loved this book. Filled with adorable illustrations, each page has a mainly one, but sometimes two, jokes per page. For example: WHAT DID THE CAT SAY WHEN READING THIS BOOK? "THESE PUNS ARE APAWLING." I laughed out loud every time I picked it up and read some pages. I imagine that kids that love cats or jokes, will love this book. And adults probably will too.

Some delightfully silly jokes that will get people howling with laughter!

One criticism I have is making jokes involving a specific wizarding franchise - in the year of 2025, with how wrapped up in scandal the author of that series is, I find it hard to connect with jokes making references to it. Definitely isolates a specific audience, even if it seems like a silly joke.

I think little kids will definitely get a kick out of this! The pictures of the cats were colorful and I enjoyed turning every page and reading the jokes.

I wanted to like this book. I love silly jokes. Many of the jokes were snort-worthy, but some were just bad. Most, I had heard before. Some were jokes that were only funny in print and not good for re-telling. I only found two that I thought were worth retelling to my kids, and they were unimpressed. The illustrations were cute, but some were repeated through the book. I could see this book being bought as a gift and read once or twice to appreciate it by the receiver.

I received a digital ARC through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This might be the most adorable book I’ve ever read!
It’s a short and sweet book of cat jokes with minimal illustrations and jokes I’ve never heard before! My daughter and I were giggling as we read through them. Perfect for cat lovers and kids alike!

Everyone who knows me knows that I love cats. When I saw this book I instantly had to jump on it. It had the perfect balance of cheesy and laugh out loud jokes. This book would be perfect as a coffee table book or the occasional quick pick me up. Thank you for the early e-arc!

What did the cat say when reading this book? - "These puns are apawling."

This is so dumb it's actually hilariously funny.
Do not give this to any dad. This is the apex of dad joke pyramids. Dangerously powerful material.

I read this book to my partner (we have 3 cats), and honestly, it was way funnier than solo.
I was snorting and laughing so hard mostly while waiting for his reactions as he side-eyed me like one of our judgmental cats.

The illustrations definitely nailed the cat vibes, though I wish they had a bit more comedic flair to match the text.

Thank you Netgalley and Chronicle Books for this e-ARC.

If you love cats and terrible (but totally hilarious) puns, this book is a must-have. The Impawsibly Good Book of Cat Jokes had me chuckling nonstop with its 165 hiss-terical jokes—perfect for when you need a quick laugh or want to break the ice with some seriously silly cat humor.

From “mewsical chairs” to tuxedo-wearing felines, the jokes are pun-tastic and the playful illustrations add extra charm. Whether you’re a crazy cat person or just appreciate a good dad joke with a feline twist, this book is puur-fectly silly and seriously fun.

Grab it for yourself or as a gift for anyone who can’t get enough of their furry friends!
