Beano Joke Book (Beano Non-fiction)

Description

The hunt is on for Beanotown's best joker, so sit down, put your feet up and get ready to laugh yourself silly with this Beano Joke Book! It's comedy night in Beanotown and Bash Street's finest comedians have come together to compete for glory. Everyone has brought their funniest, most epic jokes with them to impress you. Who will you decide is the best joker? Warning: the laughter caused by this book may lead to one or all of the following: falling off your chair, crying and wetting yourself.

I.P. Daley is the latest author to chronicle the adventures of the fantastic Dennis and Gnasher. Having spent many years as a reporter for the Beanotown Gazette, I.P. knows her subject and is good friends with the Beano Editor. She's inspired by tricks, pranks and jokes, and even boasts a doctorate in gelotology (the science of laughter), giving her the unprecedented ability to document the dynamic duo's exploits with rib-tickling tales. I.P. is ably assisted by Craig Graham and Mike Stirling who were both born in Kirkcaldy, Fife, in the same vintage year when Dennis became the cover star of Beano. Ever since, they've been training to becomes the Brains Behind Beano Books (which is mostly making cool stuff for kids from words and funny pictures). They've both been Beano Editors, but now Craig is Managing Editor and Mike is Editorial Director (ooh, fancy!) at Beano Studios.
