With a clear, easy-to-read layout, complete with well-placed black and white line drawings, this witty book of facts, stories, jokes and lists covers a wide-range of topics that will have children (and a silly adult or two) laughing out loud, trying out silly things to do and telling all of their friends their new-found silly knowledge.
