A chicken walks into a library. It goes up to the circulation desk and says: “book, book, book, boook”.
The librarian hands the chicken a book. It tucks it under its wing and runs out.
A while later, the chicken runs back in, puts the first book onto the counter and looks at the librarian again saying: “book, bok, bok, bok, boook”.
Again the librarian gives it a book, and the chicken runs out. The librarian shakes her head, wondering what’s going on.
Within a few minutes, the chicken is back, returns the book and starts all over again: “boook, book, bok bok boook”. The librarian gives it a third book, but this time as the chicken is running out the door, she follows it.
The chicken runs down the street, through the park and down to the riverbank. There, sitting on a lily pad is a massive, green frog. The chicken holds up the book and shows it to the frog, saying: “Book, bok, bok, boook”.
The frog blinks, and croaks: “read-it, read-it, read-it”.

An astronaut was invited to a party where she met an author.
“You know,” she said, “I took your last book into space!”
“Wow!” said the author, “What did you think of it?”
“It was wonderful,” replied the astronaut, “I couldn’t put it down.”
