Port Hole owner Ellen Traylor said, “Award win- ning author and illustrator Sandy Silverthorne came up with the novel idea a couple months ago to tie into the release of his new books ‘Crack Yourself Up Jokes for Kids’ and ‘More Crack Yourself Up Jokes for Kids.’” Silverthorne added, “You don’t really do a reading at a bookstore when you’ve done a joke book, so I thought why not have kids come and entertain?” Performers as young as four years old will have two minutes to share their best jokes, stories, knock knocks and riddles. Each contestant will receive a copy of Silver- thorne’s new books and one will win a $20 gift card to Port Hole Book- store. Even if they don’t have a child performer, Silver- thorne encourages people to come and enjoy the event. “We did this at a book- store in the Portland area a while back and it was a riot. The kids were really funny,” said Silverthorne. “One of the kids, a four- year-old, used cue cards that his dad drew for him.” The event is free and takes place at 2 p.m. Sat- urday, Oct. 26, at Port Hole Center. For more information, or to sign up your child, visit Port Hole Center’s Facebook page or email porthole@centurytel.net. Silverthorne has been writing and illustrating books since 1988 and cur- rently has over 600,000 copies in print. Hi s aw a r d - w i n n i n g “Great Bible Adventure” children’s series with Harvest House sold over 170,000 copies and has been distributed in eight languages worldwide.
