Album Notes

Producers Steve and Stephanie Gold invited hundreds of school-age kids to stand in front of a microphone and told them “Be Funny.” Real-life kids just being kids, telling knock knock jokes, pet stories and chicken jokes. This artfully edited compilation includes music and sound effects.*


QUOTES:
“Parents need to be warned, though, because the tape could be on the Christmas list of every child between 4 and 10. It is likely to have strong appeal because it is one of the few recordings on the market that lets kids act like kids. For instance, some of the junior comedians on the tape can’t stop cracking themselves up. Others can’t remember the punch lines to their own jokes. The voices are all unique and honest, replete with lisps, mispronounced words (“breafkast”) and unrehearsed enthusiasm.” Arizona Republic

“Silliness enhanced with sound effects and some very catchy music will tickle the funny bones of youngsters while causing adults to groan and suppress chuckles as these jokes take them back to their childhoods when these oldies were new to them.”
SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL Cynthia Ortiz, Lee Memorial Library, Allendale, NJ


“For anyone who’s ever sat through an August Phoenix-to-San Diego trip highlighted with renditions of knock-knock jokes, gales of giggles over body noises and riddles as complex (and pointless) as a Rubik’s cube, there’s more where that came from.”
PHOENIX MAGAZINE
