Book Nook - Father Humor: Mastering the Art of the Dad Joke

I recently had a chance to review a book that was more than just a joke book - it was a how-to book on leveling up the art of humor.

Focusing on puns, Father Humor: Mastering the Art of the Dad Joke is appropriate for anyone who loves (or hates) word play. It gives lots of examples that can be adapted to situations, including some classics that still pack a punch, one-liners that are groan-worthy but familiar, and new ideas. It even includes a little bit of history and language! Every example in the book is family-friendly, and appropriate for more than just dads - people of any age and gender can learn the art of the pun, including delivery and response.
