My First Book of Jokes is, as the title suggests, a collection of simple jokes for the very young. Each short joke question is presented on the right hand page of an opening with the answer revealed on turning the page. Illustrations are full page and comic in style. Most are Australian animals although there is also a banana joke.

My First Book of Jokes is about the size of a class reader – larger than a board book, smaller than a picture book. Newly independent readers will enjoy testing the jokes on family and friends.
