Tyke Tiler Joke Book

Tyke Tiler Joke Book

by Gene Kemp (Author)

Synopsis

When The Turbulent Term of Tyke Tiler was first published in 1977, it won the Library Association's Carnegie Medal and it immediately established Gene Kemp as one of the leading contemporary writers for children. Twenty years later, Tyke Tiler still remains a firm favourite with children. Now, at last, that much loved rebel is back with a riotous collection of jokes, humorously illustrated by Chris Fisher. There are jokes for all occasions from the dreadful and dastardly, to the sick, swotty and indigestible.
