Summary:

A collection of jokes and riddles for every aspect of summer, from the beach to camp to the baseball diamond.
 

Blurb:

What's better than a joke that makes you fall down laughing?
A really, really bad joke that makes you fall down laughing.
Really, Really BAD SUMMER JOKES are not only really, really bad, they are
A. really fun to tell
B. really fun to read
C. really fun to look at because...
EVERY SINGLE JOKE IS ILLUSTRATED IN FULL SHOCKING COLOR, and every page is full of things to look at that are just as funny and just as bad as the jokes.

 

Reviews:

"Have trouble finding a joke when you need one? Worry no more. A new series of books has come to the rescue. The "Really, Really, Really Bad Jokes" books live up to their titles, including "Really, Really Bad Monster Jokes," "Really, Really Bad School Jokes," "Really, Really Bad Summer Jokes" and "Really, Really Bad Sports Jokes." They are recommended for ages 7 to 11, but we think the recommenders are seriously underestimating the depth of our immaturity when it comes to jokes."-- The Sacramento Bee , April 26, 1999.

"Some are punny, some are play on words, some are downright silly. Really Really joke books are sure to please elementary-age school children who tend to fall into hysterics with little prompting. Every joke has an illustration and every page is filled with chuckle-makers. Some of these tongue-twisters are pretty silly, but youngers will find them side-splitting none-the-less." --Chere Coen, The Sunday Advocate , Baton Rouge, LA, May 2, 1999.

"Don't buy these if you're the kind of parent who tells your kids "don't be silly." Silliness is the heart of the matter here. Silliness accompanied by giggles, guffaws and hee-haws. Lots of color cartoons accompany these jokes, not that they need any embellishment."--Greg Langley, The Sunday Advocate , Baton Rouge, LA, May 2, 1999.

 

Dedication:

To James, Heidi, and Joseph Ivie. May their summers always be cool.
