I think “Cat Jokes vs Dog Jokes” by David Lewman is an awesome book because the book can be flipped over, and you can read “Dog Jokes vs Cat Jokes.” On one side dogs tell jokes about cats. On the other side cats tell jokes about dogs. Also, the book is about dogs and cats, two of my favorite animals. Plus, it’s a joke book and I’m
into comedy. It’s a comic book and I love making and reading comics. I also like that there are cute characters telling funny jokes to each other. This book has 128 pages and is recommended for ages 7–11.
