A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Pat Hancock is the author of the four books in the popular Haunted Canada series and four books in the bestselling Crazy Canadian Trivia series, all published by Scholastic Canada. Pat brings boundless enthusiasm to her research and writing, and shares a reference-filled house with her husband in Toronto, Ontario.

MARG MEIKLE's knack for finding answers led to a widely appreciated stint on CBC Radio as "The Answer Lady". She further demonstrated her skills by writing several books of non-fiction, including three for children: You Asked for It!, Funny You Should Ask Me and Ask Me Anything! For her efforts, she has been awarded both the Silver Birch and Red Cedar Awards.

Marg was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease as a young mother, at the age of 41. In 2001 she held the first Porridge for Parkinson’s Breakfast in Vancouver. Through Marg’s efforts, this event mushroomed and inspired similar breakfast events across the country, which continue to this day. By the time of her death of complications from the disease in December, 2013, at the age of 57, the event and matching donations had raised 1.6 million dollars for Parkinson’s research.

Kara Woodburn works in children's book publishing and is an ardent hockey fan. After meeting Leafs goalie James Reimer, Kara and her boyfriend spent the following hour thinking of all the witty things they could have said to him. And voilà, 101 Hockey Jokes was born. She lives in Toronto, Ontario.

ERIN O’CONNOR is the author of 101 Cool Canadian Jokes and co-author of 101 Math Jokes. Erin is a children’s book editor and lives in Toronto, Ontario.

DOM PELLETIER started drawing cartoons at a young age and has never put his crayons down, studying graphic communications at Laval University in Quebec City. A lover of the great outdoors, he has planted trees and travelled the world before beginning work as a video game designer. After a fateful meeting at the Quebec Book Fair, Dom teamed up with Éditions Scholastic on their bestselling joke book series 100 blagues! Et plus…. Over fifty very funny books later, he has translated his joke book success into the hilarious graphic novel series, The Lunch Club. He lives with his wife in Saint-Liboire, Quebec.
