Synopsis

Monsters Mish and Mash have wandered off the pages of chickaDEE Magazine and into their very own book. The Hilarious Adventures of Mish and Mash contains hundreds of sidesplitting jokes, tongue twisters, optical illusions, and brainteasers presented in typical Mish and Mash fashion, reminding readers why the page has long been one of the magazine’s most popular features. A one-stop, nonstop compendium of fun, it’s the perfect go-to guide for children looking to get a laugh from family and friends with groaners like "Why did the shark brush its teeth?" (It wanted to look sharp!) It’s not all fun and games, though: between the laughs, Mish and Mash realize that the mischievous Mush is out to sabotage their fun. It’s up to readers to save the day by sorting out scrambled punchlines and solving cryptic codes. With its winning combination of laugh-out-loud jokes and interactive, brain-busting puzzles, the book is guaranteed to keep children entertained and occupied for hours.

Review:

...an especially nice hook for a young reluctant reader as it blends silliness and fun with valuable literacy skills delivered via puns and wordplay...Up-to-date content and good jokes are a strength. (CM Magazine: Canadian Review of Materials)

Loads of grade-school laughs, visual variety and the ongoing antics of the two exuberant monsters who are building the book make this collection of riddles, jokes and activities a take-anywhere stash of performance opportunities and entertainment. (Justonemorebook.com)

There’s a nice little sense of discovery in the innocence of these groaners that can be enjoyed by both kids and their parents; each one is a lesson in the delicacies of funny stuff; an education in the evolution of a nice chat and a good joke. Cute cartoons too. (Paperbag.com)

Traditional fare that will tickle children’s funny bones. (School Library Journal)
