I’d like to dedicate this book to my three older brothers, Tim, Scott, and Mark. They are really great brothers and friends, and it was a lot of fun growing up with them (most of the time!).
I’d also like to thank all of the kids who pick up and read Zoolarious Animal Jokes for Kids. Your smiles and laughter mean so much to the people who care about you, so keep up the good work!
This book combines two of my favorite things: laughter and God’s creation. I hope you enjoy reading the book as much as I enjoyed putting it together!
And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:24-25
