I Know an Old Lady ... a funny sort of joke book
Arthur Robins
Woven cleverly around 'I know an old lady who swallowed a fly', this slim volume faithfully records every ear-assaulting joke heard in junior classrooms and several dozen more they might not know about yet. Before you decide your mind might give way under the strain, do sample the illustrations - they're full of bright colour and hilarious details that only become apparent after some really close scrutiny. Look for the spider - the one with the custom-built crutch! Zanier humour will be difficult to find.
