Claire Fuller: Books for a Writing Reset: Claire Fuller’s Bookshelf for ‘The Memory of Animals’ (0 comment)
Sometimes in the middle of writing a novel, including The Memory of Animals, I suddenly feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. Not the usual pervading feeling of not knowing what I’m doing, which is a constant companion I’ve learned to live with, but a panicky feeling of being adrift. It’s not so much the story and where it’s going...

Publisher Comments

A goofy book celebrating the Dad Joke lifestyle — packed with jokes and wordplay for your favorite punster.

Bad Dad Jokes
covers every aspect of the most simultaneously loathed and beloved joke form of all time: the pun. Because "Dad Humor" should be practiced by everyone (regardless of age, gender, or family status) this book serves to encourage creative thinking and punning habits for everyone! Learn how to properly deliver a pun (whether written, visual, or verbal) and how to pretend you're sorry for your Dad Joke (even when you're not). Includes: quality pre-loaded puns, the taxonomy of the different types of wordplay, famous punsters, and Great Moments in Dad Joke History.

About the Author

Bart King is one of America's top 100 Barts. As a child, he grew fascinated with puns after learning that William Pitt the Younger (1759-1806) was so thin, he was nicknamed "The Bottomless Pitt." A longtime teacher, King has also written more than twenty-five books (including The Big Book of Boy Stuff, The Big Book of Spy Stuff, and The Pocket Guide to Mischief), and is the winner of the 2019 Bulwer Lytton Fiction Contest Vile Pun award. He had intended to illustrate this book himself, but after drawing a blank, Bart was lucky to enlist the expert assistance of Jack Ohman.

Jack Ohman is the editorial cartoonist and Associate Editor at the Sacramento Bee. Ohman was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2012, and won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning. He has published ten books, many on the subject of fly fishing, inexplicably. Ohman has also won the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, and virtually every other American journalism prize. It doesn't go to his head, much. He has three children, two of whom were students of Bart King, whom they still call Mr. King.

This was the perfect gift for my Dad, it is a big hit and since we are far away from each other he has been sharing jokes with me via text.

This goofy book of eye-rolling, corny "dad jokes" is the perfect gift for every dad. It is packed with every g-rated pun ever told! Along with some great illustrations by Pulitzer-winning cartoonist Jack Ohman. If you are trapped at home with kids, get a copy. This will inspire plenty of giggles and family fun along with the eye rolling.

Tremendous! Superlative! Not bad! These are just a few of the adjectives to come to mind when I think about this book that I wrote.
