Knock, Knock!

By Author Not Available

Publishers Summary:
The knock-knock joke: a kid classic. So many funny, punny punchlines. It was just screaming for its own book. To do this classic joke justice, we decided to gather fourteen of the best-known and most talented childrenÂ's book artists to illustrate their favorite punchlines. The results are wacky, zany, and absolutely hilarious. If you knock on Tomie dePaolaÂ's door, beware! Is that a girl or a gorilla? WhoÂ's knocking at Saxton FreymannÂ's door? Just a couple of talking lettuces. Talking lettuces?! One impatient cow can hardly wait to get through Laurie KellerÂ's door, and David Small has a surprise waiting for his intruding vampire. In this collection, youÂ'll recognize some of your favorite jokes and be surprised by new ones. But one thing is certain: Each time thereÂ's a knock, youÂ'll want to answer the door!
