The description for this book of Dad jokes recommends to read it when you need to lighten the stress of the day with a groan. As soon as I saw that, I had to jump on this book. Today is Election Day in the United States and I am a tad bit anxious about the outcome. This light-hearted book had me groaning, snorting and guffawing at its’ lame dad jokes. The layout is simply a drawing of a dad giving the setup and then the punch line for a typical corny dad joke on each page. This book just came out on Novemeber 2, 2018 but it looks like it is one of a series. Highly recommended for when you feel sucker-punched by life and need a dad moment.

Thanks to NetGalley, BooksGoSocial Publishing, and the author for an electronic review copy.

Exactly what it says! I can’t wait to share this with my husband, purveyor of many bad dad jokes!

A truly groan worthy read. Loved the format. Easy to flick between the various one liners. So bad they were good.

Thanks to author/publisher/netgalley for an ARC of the book.

Excellent, crisp read. There were some witty, smart and hilarious jokes in the book. Must read to relieve stress. The format is good with pictures, but easily readable in kindle too. So there is no reason one should skip this book.

As it turns out, my kids have purchased another book of dad jokes by Elias Hill for their dad. Our kids are teens so it was mostly too make fun of him. They've gotten many miles out of the jokes in that book. I'm sure we'll be purchasing this book as well.
This is an all new batch of jokes that's certain to make dads smile and kids groan. Some of these are really funny. There's also a fair amount to make you roll your eyes. It will be a fun addition to the other one in our possession.

As a dad, grandfather, and schoolteacher, I’m always on the lookout for chances to add humor to the situation. If my audience is inclined to roll their eyes at me, I just roll them right back. Thanks for the laughs.

Unlike previous iterations of Dad Jokes I really enjoyed this one, with some that are very "shareable". Well put together. Enjoyable.

As a lover of “dad” jokes, I found these to be great!

I will be telling these to my dad and son, even though I’m a mom.

A quick and funny read. A definite must have in an arsenal of jokes!

My family enjoyed this book of Dad jokes on our road trip. I read through the book while we drove down the road and got some chuckles and some groans. This book is exactly what you would expect from a dad joke book! My favorite joke from the book...
“What do you call a camel with no humps? - Humphrey!” Lol
Thank you to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for this e-copy, my opinions are my own.

Dad jokes are the epitome of humour, the highest class of joke, or at least I believe!

I read Dad Jokes and laughed the entire way through, armed with this new cannon full of jokes I was excited to tell my friends all of them.

That was my mistake, I was met with many a groan and a wince as I told the jokes that I thought were amazing. After 3 jokes my friends were begging me to stop, but I would not, commited to the cause as I am!

This book is definitely a weapon, if you want to lose friends or there is someone you hate, read them this book and they will suffer!! That or they will enjoy it and become your new best friend, you never know who is going to be your next partner in crime.

Written by Elias Hill and illustrated by Catherine Hogan, this book of puns hit on all the right cylinders – for me anyway. I might suggest that this may be the perfect reading material for the times when you're feeling a little brain-dead. How often is that? As an added incentive, these nonsensical one-liners may be the perfect solution to those times when authors are suffering from infamous writer's block - whatever works. That's all folks.

I send my appreciation to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

These jokes were so bad that they were good! They gave my husband plenty of ammunition for years to come, have pity on the family at Christmas! We will have to listen to these jokes for years to come! In all honesty myself and my family have not had so much giggling fun for ages! Thank you x

I'll be buying this book for my husband. This is right up his alley! I enjoyed the simplicity of the book. Short enough to keep your attention and to be able to recall the jokes. I will check out the other Dad-Joke books as well. They would make good stocking stuffers.

For dad jokes they were funny 3/4 of the time. I would recommend them. There were a few that were a little difficult to understand.

This is a cute book. I almost bought a copy for my brother who is about to be a dad but didn't, I did however buy a copy for my coworker for our secret santa.

Clean jokes can be funny. Dad jokes are mostly punny. The good new is that you can leave this one with your 5th grader and watch them get tickled. The bad news is that you might hear these jokes over and over. Seriously, great resource for clean jokes and inexpensive groans.

The title tells you—and is a perfect example of—all you need to know about the contents of this book. Some kids might giggle at this, some adults might guffaw, but basically these jokes are designed to make you groan, so with that expectation it does a really good job.
I grudgingly admit I chuckled more often than I thought I would, mostly when the punch line took me by surprise. A few of my faves:
“If you rearrange the letters of postmen. . . it makes them really angry.”
“I don’t have a dad bod. I have more of a father figure.”
“I was accused of being a plagiarist. Their word, not mine!”
“I removed the shell from my favorite racing snail, thinking it would make him faster. But it’s actually made him more sluggish.”
“My wife said she didn’t understand cloning. That makes two of us.”
“What do you get if you cross a centipede and a parrot? A walkie-talkie.”
“How many eyes does a cyclops have? None, if you’re spelling it correctly.”
“What’s blue and not really heavy at all? Light blue.”
These are the best ones. Read the rest at your own risk. You might notice, though, that most of the favorites I listed above would not be understood by most kids.
3.5 pushed up to 4/5

Dad Jokes, as the title says, is a collection of jokes that you might hear your dad say. Puns and word play create jokes that are bad enough that you have to laugh at them.

Each joke is accompanied by illustrated dads that tell the jokes. It's a short book, but many of the jokes are worth reading again. There are several that I am going to wait for the proper time and spring on others. It's nice to have a collection of jokes that can be told quickly, and are family friendly.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Dad joke isn't really popular in the country where I live but I think it’s somehow related to this corny pickup lines where you just don’t want the other person to give you the answer when they already started the question. I think its somehow related to the knock knock joke.

I enjoyed every bit of it though, it’s funny and the illustration is beyond hilarious! I’m imagining a Tumblr meme’s faces LOL!!

Every once in a while we need dad jokes to brighten up our day. Come on, admit it!
