Description
Monsters Mish and Mash have wandered off the pages of chickaDEE Magazine and straight into their very own joke book. The duo presents hundreds of side-splitting jokes, riddles, tongue twisters, and brain teasers in typical Mish and Mash fashion, reminding readers why the Mish Mash page has long been one of the most popular in chickaDEE Magazine. Divided into ten different chapters filled with interactive elements, The Hilarious Adventures of Mish and Mash is half joke collection, half interactive activity book. The two monsters invite readers to solve riddles, match punchlines, and learn to draw some of their favorite characters. It’s not all fun and games though: between the laughs, Mish and Mash realize that the mischievous Mush is out to sabotage their fun. It’s up to readers to save the day and prevent total chaos by sorting out scrambled punchlines and solving cryptic codes. The Hilarious Adventures of Mish and Mash will show you just what comes from mixing hilarious jokes with brain-busting puzzles: a book that will remain close to the hearts (and funny bones) of all readers.

Editorial Reviews
There’s a nice little sense of discovery in the innocence of these groaners that can be enjoyed by both kids and their parents; each one is a lesson in the delicacies of funny stuff; an education in the evolution of a nice chat and a good joke. Cute cartoons too.
