Review #12130 - Dated: 24th of July, 2014 Author: ktcat |
How to start on a book that is simply worth full marks in every way?! My four year old son has just got into telling jokes. His jokes are made up and hilarious to him (but not to others!). When I saw that My Book of Jokes was up for review, I requested it and hoped I would be chosen to review it. Luck was on my side and it was in my pile to review. I was not disappointed when I opened the book. It seems to that the perfect mix of colours, illustrations, book size, font etc for a young joke teller. The bold colours in the illustrations stand out really clearly and enhance the text on each page. The jokes are varied and interesting. A few of them were above my son's head but mostly they were ready for him to enjoy now. A bit of room for growth too as he starts to understand and make sense of the other ones. We have enjoyed a number of readings of the book together already. The book has allowed for a lot of interaction between my son and me as we read it. Laughing together is a great way to spend special time with my son.
The font used in the book, uses the formation of the letter 'a' that is taught to children in schools and therefore makes it perfect for a young reader. At my son's kindy, the letter of the week this week is "J". My son is going to take if for news to share tomorrow morning!
The price of the book makes it a very good option for presents for friends and family. I like to keep presents for other children to a maximum of $10 but still get something of quality and fun for the child. This fits into all my criteria.
We can now have funny jokes shared in our house and I believe that it is a book that my son will treasure for a long time. It will be revisited on a regular basis.
