Animal Crackups: 1,001 Beastly Riddles, Jokes, and Tongue Twisters from Highlights™ (Highlights™ Laugh Attack! Joke Books) Paperback – September 1, 2015

This is wonderful book of riddles and jokes by the publishers of Highlights. Many of us remember the Highlights magazines we read in dentist and doctor's offices. Now they are available through subscription.This book is the latest in a series of children's books of riddles, jokes, knock knocks, etc. There is something extra special in this book, Animal Crackups.It is illustrated by Rich Powell who works with MAD magazine, the North Carolina Zoo, various businesses, and he has a cartoon that appears in GoComics (Wide Open). For those who live in the South, his previous cartoon strip was called Dixie Drive, which is spot on in its comments about the local folks.Please be assured this book is clean and a great, fun read for your children. Here are a few samples of the material.What do you call a bird that smells bad?A foul fowl.What do you call a fish with no eyes?A fsh.What does a whale love to chew?Blubber gum.Buy this book! My 5 year old grandson loves it (and so do I).

My daughter loves telling jokes at the dinner table. This book has some really cute jokes that we have never heard before; we get a kick out of hearing her retell them to us. They jokes are kid appropriate and easy for an 8 or 9 year old to read, although some of them we have to explain to our daughter why it is funny. I would recommend this to all future comedians!

Animal Crackups are silly-funny jokes, riddles and tongue-twisters packed neatly between two covers of this terrific paperback book. These nonsensical beastly funny gathering of words are profusely illustrated by the uber- talented, and widely published cartoonist, Rich Powell. Rich's very zany cartoon drawings on all things animal, are what lifts this particular paperback book to a much higher level than the familiar, trite and banal "joke books" of yore. The chemistry of words to very highly skilled drawings, makes this book, from the very highly trusted Highlights Magazine, a particularly perfect buy for children from four to ninety-four, and beyond! Timley thought: an excellent stocking-stuffer for the Holiday Season!

My 10 year old Godson likes to tell jokes, so this was perfect! Some of the jokes are easy to guess, but some make you think.

Was a terrific gift to encourage grandson to read more! He loves jokes!

You know you've done well on a gift purchase when your young nephew calls you several times to tell you jokes while he is laughing. I am told sometimes its the joke cracking him up, and sometimes it is the illustration. Animal Crackups is a big hit !

My grandson loves this books. Jokes are great, and it is encouraging him to read.

This is a GREAT LITTLE BOOK .....Fun for kids as well as those of us who are still "kids at heart".Love the illustrations 🐠🐒🐊🙈🐢🙉🐞🙈🐸.!!!
