Review of “My Very Punny Dad”

Does your dad tell “dad jokes?” Do you laugh or groan when he does? Do you enjoy puns? Do you laugh or groan? Imagine you’re a young boy, and all day your day tells puns. You can’t escape. You’re trapped. You groan (most of the time) and sometimes even laugh. That’s the experience of the young book in a picture book, “My Very Punny Dad” by Ryan Milligan illustrated by Justin Castaneda . The boy regales the reader with his torturous day, where his dad tells puns all day. He even finds notes with puns at school.

If you like a good pun and this experience sounds like an experience your kids would enjoy and relate to, then this is a book you should get and read. I read it to my daughters who are are 7 and 8. They gave it a thumbs up. I had to explain some of the puns. They understood some of the puns. They enjoyed the story and even laughed a little. I admit, I enjoyed reading it to my daughters even though I’m not a fan of puns.

I’d recommend this to any dad who loves telling a good joke. I hope dads enjoy reading this to their children as much as I did to mine. I give it a thumbs up, just like my daughters did.

Ryan Milligan resides in the Chicago suburbs with his wife and three daughters. The author of MY VERY PUNNY DAD, Ryan doesn’t hide his affinity for “dad jokes.” His love of puns and word play began at a young age when he read Amelia Bedelia and quickly became fascinated with how language can be used in creative and silly ways. When he’s not reading books and having fun with his family, Ryan is an information technology professional. He’s also a connoisseur of hot sauce and wildly inconsistent with his mid-irons on the golf course, though he always wears two pairs of pants in case he ever gets a hole-in-one.

One thought on “Review of “My Very Punny Dad”

  1. The author has a great surname to write about puns. Spike Milligan was a famous British comedian of The Goon Show fame. Very punny show!! ‘Dad’ jokes are lame, endearing and funny all at the same time. Incidentally, I just posted about them myself. I will post a link here if you wish to have a read.
