Dogs Don't Tell Jokes - Thryft
Dogs Don't Tell Jokes - Thryft

Pursuit of comedy through adversity and ridicule.

Recommendation: This heart-warming book highlights the importance of perseverance in achieving one's dreams. The main character's determination to become a comedian despite being ridiculed teaches us about self-belief and resilience. It is an excellent read for those looking for inspiration and encouragement to follow their passion.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

'Why did the guy eat two dead skunks for breakfast?' 'Because dead ones squeal when you stick the fork in.' Gary W. Boone knows he was born to be a stand-up comedian. It is the rest of the kids in the class who think he is a fool. Then the Floyd Hicks Junior High School Talent Show is announced, and he starts practising his routine nonstop to get it just right. Gary's sure that this will be his big break - he'll make everyone laugh and will win the $100 prize money. But when an outrageous surprise threatens to turn his debut into a disaster, it looks as if the biggest joke of all may be on Gary himself.
