Children love animals and jokes more than they love most things. From puppies in the park to the bunny rabbits that dominate the most beloved storybooks, many of the first words children learn are the names of animals — from the cat in the house to the giraffe far, far away. So it’s only natural that animal jokes, especially if they’re very corny and extremely silly, get big laughs from kids. Like all great dumb jokes for kids, the best animal-inspired dad joke involves a bit of wordplay, from goofy nonsense to sophisticated puns.
