«Автор цих анекдотів – народ» – не втомлюється повторювати Олексій Кононенко у своїй семибарвній-семи-струнній серії із 7 книг «Антологія українського анекдота «Українська веселка». Він не один рік збирав, упорядковував і супроводжував авторськими текстами ці збірники і веселих, і сатиричних історій та примовок.
Український народний гумор має віковічне коріння, на якому виростає та рясно родить і сучасний сміхограй. Тут є і так звані «мандрівні» сюжети, і дружні «позички» з гумору інших народів, є посилання на конкретних співтворців деяких гуморинок і тематичні варіанти анекдотів.
Книги цієї серії мають яскраві своєрідні теми, і кожну із них адресовано широкому колу читачів.
