[Lawrence · Rating 5 out of 5]

I purchased two copies of this book and sent each of my twin grandchildren (5yrs) a copy. Then I bought a copy for myself in order to learn some of the pranks that the twins will play on their parents. Two other other grandchildren live five houses away on the same street and I am quite sure they will be “pranked.” All in good fun, this delightful book gives the reader setup and delivery instructions. You’ll love it.
The author has another book in the same genre, “The Joke Machine.” The grandchildren five doors down the street are getting this title for the holidays…

I gave 101 Hilarious Pranks and Practical Jokes to a friend's 7 and 9 year old sons and they love it! The book is filled with not-mean-and-very-funny pranks they can pull off themselves. I know they'll be pranking each other, their cousins of similar ages, and parents (who I hope will remain friend with me--lol).

Laugh while you learn to prank!
Welcome to SHMOP, the School of Hijinks, Malarkey and Outlandish Pranks, where kids will learn to trick their friends in all kinds of clever and occasionally gross ways. Even if you’re not a pranker, you’ll enjoy the humor of this book.
