Young children just love catching each other out (and their parents especially) with Knock knock jokes. They are the cause of much hilarity and lead to a young child's growing understanding of jokes and humour. Many books have been published and even more books of jokes include this variety of good humour.
Deano Yipadee has collected a fun series of Knock knock jokes and Paul Beavis has added to the humour with his pictures of Gerri the Giraffe going from house to house with her book of jokes. Unfortunately those who answer the door are unimpressed, telling Gerri 'there's a time and place for being a clown'.
Fortunately this would-be comedian discovers that time and place – the town fair, where Gerri saves the day and her jokes are appreciated. This message of time and place is there to be picked up on and expanded to fit other situations if the reader so wishes.
As a bonus, the downloadable version of the book as song is also available for parents and teachers of pre-school and junior classes.
Told in rhyming couplets, with each page of expressive illustrations adding to the storyline, this is a book that youngsters will return to time and again.

Who's There?
Figs
Figs who?
Figs the doorbell, it's broken!
A picture book about a giraffe who wants to be a stand up comedian. Miss 4 wasn't so fussed on the story but she liked all the extra knock knock jokes at the back.
