Dogs Don’t Tell Jokes

Description

Dogs Don’t Tell Jokes by Louis Sachar is a hilariously funny, wonderfully warm, and thoroughly engaging children’s novel from the celebrated and widely beloved author of Holes — a book that perfectly captures the universal childhood experience of desperately wanting to be funny in a world that isn’t always ready to laugh along with you. Published by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC in 2007 as a new edition, this delightfully readable 224-page paperback follows the story of Gary W. Boone — a boy with an unstoppable passion for telling jokes, a seemingly bottomless supply of terrible puns, and an unshakeable dream of winning his school’s talent show as a stand-up comedian — in a funny, tender, and genuinely heartwarming story about friendship, perseverance, self-belief, and the courage to be exactly who you are even when the world isn’t laughing.
