MINNETONKA, Minn., April 2, 2014 (Korea Bizwire) - The UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation (UHCCF) has launched its new “Little Book – Big Laughs Joke Book” to help bring giggles and grins to children young and old.
The book includes more than 600 jokes submitted by kids, for kids. Jokes include popular and original jokes, funny one-liners, knock-knock jokes and silly tongue-twisters.
| Wanna hear a pizza joke? |
Why do sharks swim in salt water? |
| Never mind, it’s too cheesy |
Because pepper water makes them sneeze |
The book is ideal for children ages 4 to 12, but can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
“Little Book – Big Laughs Joke Book” is available at www.Amazon.com for $5.99.
Proceeds from the book will fund future UHCCF grants that help families pay for children’s medical expenses not covered, or not fully covered, by a commercial health insurance plan. Since its founding in 1999, UHCCF has funded more than 6,500 medical grants totaling more than $20 million.
“We are grateful for the overwhelming and enthusiastic response from families and children across the country who submitted jokes for this book. At the heart of the book is our desire to create an uplifting, boredom-busting read to inspire any reader, whether in a hospital or waiting room, or on a long car ride. The book’s proceeds will help provide child medical grants to families in need,” said UHCCF President Matt Peterson.
