Some ARC reviews
“…Malandrino’s outrageous illustrations colorfully blend reality and fantasy as the characters intermingle with whimsically imagined elements from the jokes themselves … The book has an offbeat premise that will resonate with children and grown-ups alike…”
-Kirkus Review
“Dulin and Reed probe the limits of that age-old question—are dad jokes really that funny—and come out on top, as the fathers featured in their side-splitting debut are every bit as jolly and delighted with themselves as one would expect. …the ending is a sweet example of how humor really does bring people together.”
-BookLife Review
“This book was a delight to read. It truly kept me entertained right from the beginning all the way to the end. An aspect I thought was very clever and unique was drawing each joke literally. It almost made the jokes funnier. Reading this book also felt like watching a close sports game - I was cheering and invested the whole time.”
-A. Carnow, NetGalley Review
