title: Mister Porkpie's Corny Joke Book for Kids #1
author:  Andrew B. Remnet 
description: Andrew B. Remnet was born and raised in Southern California. During his early years, school was always a struggle for everyone involved. It wasnt until he was out in the real world, that age and experience started working in his favor. Now he has a renewed thirst for knowledge that spreads into every aspect of his life. Andrew now uses his self taught skills to perform educational magic shows for preschools throughout the Southern California area. In addition to his educational programs, he also performs as Mister Porkpie, a campy comedic magical entertainer who stops at nothing to bring joy and delight to audiences ranging from under one to over one hundred years of age. When he is not performing, writing books, or teaching magic to youngsters, he can be found traveling the United States with his wife and three children.

  ‘Well — he was about right,’ said Janet, looking round the room. ‘Do you
  _ever_ pick anything up when you drop it? Goodness, what’s this mess on the
  carpet — something stuck to it?’
  
  
  ‘Oh — so _that’s_ where my nougat went!’ said Peter, scraping a sticky mess
  off the carpet. ‘Good thing Dad didn’t tread on that — it would have stuck to
  his shoe for ages!’
  
  
  Janet gave a delighted chuckle. ‘You really are dreadfully untidy, Peter,’ she
  said. ‘I suppose I’d better tidy up your room for you before Daddy comes back
  again.’
  
  
  ‘What did you want me for?’ asked Peter, still scraping. ‘Ooh — it’s horrid,
  this. What a waste of a
