What are you reading?
I’m reading Michael Rosen joke book at the moment. It has some hilarious one line jokes but also some funny stories and even a bit about where jokes first began. Sarah Horne did the illustrations and some of them are just as funny as the jokes!
Here’s one of my favourite jokes :
Patient: Doctor, doctor I’ve got something awful on my neck.
Doctor: It’s your head.
When I’ve finished I’ll put this book in the library so watch out for it.
