You’re Joking Me: Book Review & Giveaway

There are two types of people in the world: Those of us who dearly love a cheesy Dad joke and those who mock those of us who love them so much.

I hope you’re joining me in the first category, because do I have a book for you! You’re Joking Me is a book of clean jokes by a kid for kids (and the young at heart). Author William Daniel is a middle-schooler who enjoys making people laugh, and this book is guaranteed to make you grin.

So Much to Love about You’re Joking Me

It’s easy to read and full of jokes that you’ll enjoy sharing around the family table, with friends (or coworkers) at school, and pretty much anywhere someone needs a smile (or groan if you’re in the second category of people). If you are, that’s okay. We’ll keep sharing these jokes with you anyway.

I’m grabbing a copy for my family and some dear friends who share my love for Dad jokes. The pocket size companion makes it ideal for on-the-go or to stuff someone’s stocking with this Christmas.

It’s the perfect little pick-me-up for sleep-deprived mamas like me or anyone who needs a little mental break from a mounting to-do-list.

Want to win a copy?

Simply add a comment to this blog post and share either 1) your own favorite (clean) joke or 2) who you would love to share this book with this holiday season.

A few considerations:

  1. You must be over 13 years of age to enter (or have your parents’ permission).
  2. You must have a US address. (Sorry to my international friends!)
  3. The winner’s name may be posted on this site and/or social media.
  4. While this contest may be shared on social media sites such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, this promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with these entities.

The giveaway runs through Saturday, December 10, and I’ll announce the winner on the blog and Facebook the following week.

Keep smiling!

      Thanks, Mark! I agree. William has done a great job.
      Those are good ones (and definitely groan-worthy)! Thanks for sharing.

    This sounds so fun!! Why do fathers take an extra pair of socks when they go golfing? In case they get a hole in one! 🤣 I’m a total sucker for cheesy dad jokes!!! I laugh probably way too hard at them but, uh… No regrets! 😉

    I would love to win this for my nephew. He has autism and one of the things he really gets a kick out of is telling punny jokes 🙂
