My first book of jokes Ill. by Mark Guthrie
Scholastic, 2013. ISBN 9781742837925
Recommended for 4-6 year olds. This a great first book of jokes for
beginning readers that has an Aussie flavour. Some of the jokes also
take old favourites and add a twist in the punch line. Why did
the kookaburra sit on the clock? So it would be on time!
Mark Guthrie's uncomplicated illustrations support the simple fun of
reading aloud the humorous questions and responses. The young reader
will enjoy the scenes of a platypus wearing lipstick and the horse
in horspital. As they tell these to friends, classmates and
family members, listen to their laughter and watch, as they begin to
understand the importance of having fun with oral language.
