Dad Jokes? I Think You Mean Rad Jokes!

There are Dads and then there are jokes and this author had to get the two together on paper!
Thank you NetGalley for the eARC, loved the sketches and while we're at it, I did find some of these hilarious because it's only Dad's who'd spew this stuff and in a cool way, it just put a smile on me.

A nice enjoyable read for those who want a snicker or laugh outburst.

I am not a Dad, but oh well. I felt rebelious and entered the sacred territory of the Dad joke!!

I read every joke out to my daughter (and co-blogger) and I struggled because these jokes are undoubtedly ‘Dad jokes’ but some of them had me in tears and my daughter having to (impatiently) wait for me to gain enough control to actual read out the rest of the joke.

I can honestly say that this would be the perfect gift for anyone, male or female, Dad or not. It’s not a big book but it certainly packs a punch(line)

I was given a copy of this book by the Publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

I braced myself before opening up this book filled with 101 new "dad jokes". The book is illustrated so that it actually looks like Dads are telling the jokes. I think that most of these will make you chuckle - but I'm not saying if they will because you think they are funny or because they are just that bad...

Some of my favorites included:

I sympathize with batteries. I'm never included in anything either.

If I hear you slam the doors one more time... I'll be really upset 'cause that's my favorite band.

Definitely a very punny book and sure to get you some laughs and definitely some groans if you read it out loud to a group!

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review. I was not otherwise compensated.

Several great jokes, that cover all awkward or hilarious moments any dad or other male might find himself.

Who doesn't love a bad dad joke or two?
A cute gift book with illustrations of the dad telling the jokes with speech bubbles.
A good variety of jokes, surely a few to get a chuckle

Another collection of dad jokes by Elias Hill. I have loved all of the other books I have read by him and this is no different. They are dad jokes. Some are funny, some of stupid, some are full of puns. But it was a fun book, one I would read again when I needed a lift. I enjoyed it!

Listen carefully and you can hear the groans and shouts of "Daaaaaad!" coming from Elias Hill's house. I imagine Hill's three kids in their role as official dad joke testers, and either loving it or hating it. His jokes just keep on coming. The author of a dozen or more joke books, his latest, Dad Jokes? I Think You Mean Rad Jokes, is full of the corny, groan-worthy jokes that his kids, surely, are tired of hearing.


Speaking as a dad, I am grateful for a source of really excellent jokes, riddles and puns to add to my own limited arsenal of dad jokes. Hill's jokes are original and funny. They're illustrated by Katherine Hogan in the same style as Hill's other books, in a Q and A format with black-and-white drawings of the speaker. Here's a sampling of the jokes:



What do you call an ape that likes to touch people? Chimp-handsy.
Would snails move faster if they just took off their shells? No, it would just make them more sluggish.
Our can opener is broken. Please refer to it now as the can't opener.

Dads, brush up on your dad joke skills, with Hill's help!





Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!

We all have that one friend who likes to make cheesy jokes that make you cringe when you laugh at them. Doesn't it hurt you just a little when you hear a bad pun and it still makes you chuckle? Those are dad jokes. Here's a book you can give to that friend who just can't help himself. Or herself! Because in today's world, dad jokes aren't just for men - or dads, for that matter.
Anyone can partake in the painful punnery. Let this book be your guide.

I love a good bad joke, if that makes sense. All the cheesy ones are the best and this little book is full of them. Here's just a few.......

'Someone told me that their dog could retrieve a ball from up to a mile away.' - 'seems a bit far-fetched'

'What drink always has a cold?' - 'Cough-ee'

'What type of desert is always late to the party? Choco-late'

'Why did the printer go to the gym? to get toner'

This little book would be a lovely little pocket gift for all those who like bad jokes. I think my friends and family were glad when I finished it. definitely worth a read.

Thank you to NetGalley for the free article

Great idea for a book and really well executed. A thoroughly good read. Highly recommended. .
