    5.0 out of 5 stars Dahl's Marvellous Joke Book is medicine of LAUGHTER! Five Star. Gift goes on giving.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 April 2019
    Verified Purchase
    Grandsons happy. A sense of humour is a LIFE SKILL that Dahl mastered and passed on. The GIFT of laughter.
    No greater legacy to leave behind than loving admirers of his work. His ability to fuel laughter.
    And in this joke book, the ability to pass on that ability, by making others laugh too.
    Laughter shakes stress from the body, replacing it with the ability to relax and fall asleep more easily.
    Laughter provides a body workout without straining joints. It is quite safe - unless you fall off chair laughing! Ha Ha!
    Live, love, laugh and be happy.

    I purchased this for my 9 year old nephew who found it hilarious. Some of the jokes were a bit hard for him to understand, but the majority were fine. Plus, at the price, you can't really go wrong.

    This was bought for my 8 year old Grandson as a stocking filler for Christmas and he loves it.
    He often come up to us with a random joke which he then tells all his friends at school. This is one of his books of choice for bedtime reading!
    He thinks it is very funny and he gets a lot of joy from it.
    Well worth the money.

    The jokes are based off the multitude of Roald Dahl's books. Even if silly, the jokes are very amusing! Any true fan should have this book. It does the years you have spent reading (and re-reading) his books justice. You will thank me later.
