Ridiculous knock knocks RJ# 18

Dear Mrs.Zrihen,

I just finished reading the book called Ridiculous Knock Knocks by Chris Tait. It is a pretty short, humor book that I think should be recommended to little kids because of the silly, yet classic, knock knock jokes. To start off the book was actually organized as a listing book, hence the different knock jokes with different topics. A joke/passage that I want to share with you is on page 69.
“Knock-Knock. Who's there? Plane! Plane who? Plane dumb won't help you now!"
This passage interested me because I just wanted to show you a joke from the book. This could be important to the reader because it shows that the jokes won't be funny, however it makes you get the feeling of how silly it is.
Some strategies I used before reading this book were to look for text features, for example the chapters led alphabetically from A-Z. Another was to predict what would happen in the book and my prediction was in general, that I would be about random topics each joke and I was right. During reading the book I actually reread some parts because I needed to understand the joke. Another one was to confirm my prediction which was correct.
There is no main character because it is just jokes, also no setting, conflict, and plot structure. The author's purpose is to entertain the reader. The author didn't take sides, so there is no perspective. The theme is funny, and the tone is hilarious. I felt funny in the book.

After reading the book I recommended it to someone and asked the jokes in the book to my friends.

I would rate this book 6/10 because it wasn't all that funny just silly.
