2020 Re-read. I can use some puns in my life right now and this book by Gemma Correll is perfect for that. She makes the best puns that have you laugh and groan. I love her art and seeing her think up puns that are sometimes very simple, but sometimes (as past-me also said) you need to read the name out loud before you get it.
I wouldn't mind more books with puns by this author. Please give us more. Please!
--------------------------------------------------
First up, I want to thank my boyfriend for giving this to me as a Birthday Present, thanks dear! So happy with this one!
I just love puns (even the bad ones, though I will groan and shake my head at them), some people are just really creative with coming up with them. I spotted this book on Goodreads after I read another pun book. I just knew I had to have it. Gemma Correll's art is wonderful, she is one of my favourite artists, and I just had to know what kind of puns she made/drew.
And I can tell you, it didn't disappoint. I laughed so loud while reading this one, at times groaning at some because they are just that obvious. I loved that a lot of objects talked, to give the pun more punch. Like for Pear Pressure: C'mon everyone else is doing it. With a picture of two pears. Or the blunt pencil who is indeed very blunt.
And the list can continue, there are a lot of objects in this book, all playing a role. Some words you have to say aloud to get the pun, but mostly you can just immediately see what is happening.
I could talk about the art, but I think I already made my point when I said that I loved Gemma Correll's art. :)
Would I recommend this book? Heck yes, I would. If you want a laugh, and enjoy some good art, then be sure to check this book out.

One of my Christmas presents (thanks, Mom!) - a perfect combination of Gemma Correll's delightful illustrations and giggle-prompting puns. My only (minor) complaint is that it was over too fast (but I'm sure I'll pick it up off my shelves many times in the future to enjoy again).

Some made me shake my head. Some made me chuckle. I love a good pun!

I was tempted to write a pun-filled review, but I’m really not that punny.
Whilst it was a nice enough quick read, it was nowhere near as amusing as I had expected it to be. I gave one or two giggles, and that was about it.
Short and sweet, but not the best collection of puns.

Gemma Correll's drawings are both adorable and hilarious.
