Father Christmas it's a blooming terrible joke book by Raymond Briggs (1998-07-01) Mass Market Paperback – 1754

I ordered this joke book for my 5 year old who loves the Raymond Briggs Father Chrustmas books. But to be honest, the jokes really are blooming awful. I love all kinds of jokes but lots of these weren’t much good, and my son didn’t get them at all really and any remnant if humour was lost when the joke needed to be explained why it was funny. And he is a funny kid, my son! Just that these jokes seemed very very outdated.

While you may have heard the jokes before, they're certainly better than the ones in the average cracker. Give it to a six year old a fortnight before the big day, to add to the anticipation and allow time for practice.

Bought this for an 8yr old reluctant reader.The jokes are lovely old fashioned cracker style - nothing sophisticated, just funny.Lovely stocking filler to suit many ages!

My 11 year old son was delighted with this gift from Father Christmas. It has been read often over the Christmas period, raising a smile amongst even the most typical teenager.

Love Briggs Santa. Makes him a real person to everyone that reads him. Kids and adults enjoy him.
