Here is some good news that I would like to share: Explain the Joke was published by D C Canada Education Publishing.

I began explaining jokes to my 4th grade students in 2013.  They were learning English and did not understand the jokes that other students were telling.  The explanations developed into a blog, and the blog developed into the book.  Working with DC Canada publishers was a wonderful experience, and publishing the book is a dream come true.

While the book was written for English language learners, it works for anyone who would like to better understand the multiple layers of these jokes in English.

Of course, I would encourage you to buy a copy, and then let me know what you think.  Thanks for reading!
