You're Joking: Become an Expert Joke-Teller by Tom E. Moffatt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

You’re Joking: Become Expert Joke-Teller is a great book for kids 8-year-old and older. This book gives you the mechanics of jokes, how best to deliver them, timing (very important) and body language. Even such things as rehearsing your jokes, so you can remember them and feel more comfortable telling them are covered here. You also get 100 original jokes, some one-liners, and a few longer to get you started on your jokester journey.
I have an 8-year-old who loves to tell jokes, but they are either not truly funny, or they are poorly delivered, so she was excited to try this book out. After a few days of reding the book, she has gotten more persistent with jokes, and she does use the new jokes in this book often. She seems a little more comfortable with delivering the jokes, so I would say this book did help her out.
