The joke books not only provide smiles and laughter, but also
help fund child medical grants for families in need. Proceeds from
the sales of the books will help fund UHCCF grants that help
families pay for children’s medical expenses not covered, or not
fully covered, by a commercial health insurance plan. Since 2007,
UHCCF has funded more than 10,000 medical grants totaling more than
$29 million.
The books – “Little Book - Big Laughs” Riddle Book and “Little
Book - Big Laughs” Knock-Knock Book include more than 350
knock-knock jokes and 500 riddles submitted by kids – for kids. The
books are ideal for children ages 4 to 12, but can be enjoyed by
people of all ages.

The “Little Book – Big Laughs” books are available at Amazon.com
for $5.99 each.
“The inspiration behind these books is to bring smiles and
laughter to children, whether in a hospital, in the car or just
hanging out with friends and family,” said UHCCF President Matt
Peterson. “Earlier this month, we awarded our 10,000th medical
grant, and the proceeds from these books will help us further our
mission of helping thousands’ more families in the years
ahead.”
The first Little Book – Big Laughs joke book was released April
Fools’ Day 2014 and was a Mom’s Choice Gold Award recipient for
juvenile books. The success of the first book propelled the idea to
create two additional books for a joke book series.
In addition to the joke books, UHCCF publishes and sells the
award-winning Oliver & Hope’s storybooks, along with other fun
child toys and products; all available at Amazon. UHCCF recently
added two more characters to the Oliver & Hope™ series of
super-soft stuffed toys – Charlotte the fox and Hugo the dragon.
Proceeds from the books and toys help fund UHCCF child medical
grants.
