Reading is fun--and it can be funny too! Readers discover this as they explore a variety of silly jokes about popular topics that range from animals and food to monsters and outer space. The achievable language allows for the development of strong independent reading skills as kids learn new jokes to make their friends laugh out loud. In addition, a glossary helps readers build a strong vocabulary and enhance their understanding of each topic. The short, simple text and colorful design make this an engaging reading experience for reluctant and struggling readers, helping them discover the joy of reading.
