The Family Joke Book

Brad Taylor

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 feb 2000

This thoughtful collection of humorous and wholesome stories and jokes comes from the author's family experiences, including stories told by and to grandparents and grandchildren. Loosely divided into four broad age groups, the book is one way to get the family talking and provides a vehicle for easy conversation and respectful interchange between children and other children; parents and children; and grandparents and their grandchildren. The stories also provide instructive challenges to the maturity of any young person's understanding of humor. Much of this humor is based on stories told and heard from young people visiting the home of the author's own children. THE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW and the WISCONSIN BOOKWATCH report that this book "offers the reader a wonderful, highly recommended collection of wholesome stories and clean jokes" and that it is ideal "for browsing, reading to family and friends, or as resource material for public speaking...."
