When my grandson turned five, he learned what a joke was. Of course, it was a great way to stay on the telephone with a five year old, so I immediately looked for children’s books containing jokes. I bought two of the same book, one to keep at our house and one to keep at his house. National Geographic has a wonderful joke book for children, called “Just Joking,” for $7.15. Joke Books for Kids
www.amazon.com even has a link which lists all the bestselling children’s joke books with different kinds of riddles, knock-knock jokes and more. Joke books on Kindle
We went to Barnes & Noble together and picked out some more joke books that he liked. We had fun with the books, but some of the jokes were just beyond a five year old’s ability to comprehend. So I created my own list! I used this list to share jokes on the telephone. I used this list to email a joke to my grandson. Here is Grandma’s list of best jokes for a grandchild who discovers jokes or for Grandma to introduce a grandchild to jokes:
