Jokes for kids?

We bought 5 yr old a pack of jokes, like playing cards. He has a great deal of fun with them even though we are pretty sure he doesn't understand all of them. Sorry I can only remember one: What is a pirate's favourite football team? Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrsenal.

Why are pirates scary? They just arrrrrggggghhhhh.

What is a pirate's favourite letter? Well you might be thinking 'r', but it's the 'c' yer see ...

And what do you call a fish with no eyes? Fsh.

(Apologies)

I think if you google 'jokes for kids' you'll find an appropriate collection ...e.g. "Where do fish keep their money?" "In the River Bank" ...

Why didn't the skeleton go to the dance ?

Because he had no body to go with.

My GSs prefer their jokes on the crude side - don't they all? How do you make a squirrel squeal? Pinch his nuts. (GS1 when he was 8)

Yes anno those would appeal to GS (8) without a doubt.
GD (11) more into clever plays on words e.g. why are there no painkillers in the jungle? Because the parrots eat 'em all. boom boom.
C'mon gransnetters gimme some help here. Recommendations for joke books also welcome.

Just an aside- among my DCs books we found a copy of the Rolf Harris joke book-so inappropriate now. How times change!!!
What do you call a snowman in summer?
A puddle!

I am hopeless at remembering jokes in full - usually I can remember the punchline but not the beginning, however there are sites with jokes for kids

DGD loved the fish one when she was younger and the one about 'my dog's got no nose; how does he smell? Awful!'
What bees make milk? - Boobees!
Why did the sky cry? Because the sea weed

These still amuse the 4 year old but the older one may have more sophisticated tastes now, I must try to remember these:
