Favorite Joke Books for Your Little Ones
Knock knock! Many parents of preschoolers are no strangers to hearing these two words, as kids love to take creative liberties with who’s at the door and tell endless varieties of these jokes. But perhaps you’re tired of the same jokes about poop and are looking to inspire your kids with some new laughs. Look no further than our favorite joke books for your little ones!
You know we had to kick it off with the classic knock knock joke! This book is so cute and sweet. Kids will love opening the flaps to find who’s there.
If your kid is still a little too young to understand most jokes, this book is a great introduction to the world of jokes. Should they still be scratching their heads after the punch line, they can still have fun looking for the hidden pictures!
Funniest Illustrated Jokes for Kids! For Ages 5-7
This one’s more for the early elementary set, as the jokes are more punny and require a larger vocabulary. The illustrations add interest and aid in understanding though!
They’re not exactly joke books, but the Elephant and Piggie books by Mo Willems tell hilarious stories about two unlikely friends. They’re a huge hit with kids and adults alike. When kids are learning to read, these books are a great choice, as the words are easy enough for emerging readers, and it’s fun to take turns reading each character.
Humor is a wonderful way to bond with kids. Laughter makes everyone happy and can be handy in diffusing some tough situations (when used with good judgment of course). Next time your kid is about to throw a tantrum about putting on his or her shoes, see if you can distract them by asking “Why doesn’t Winnie the Pooh wear shoes?” (Because he has bear feet!). Okay okay, if that one brought on more of an eye roll than a chuckle, then maybe one of our favorite joke books has something to suit your funny bone!
