From School Library Journal:
Grade 3-6 A moderately dense collection of riddles, jokes, knock-knocks, and puns, gathered into chapters by crea tures (ghosts, werewolves, skeletons, etc.) and profusely illustrated with Marshall's goofy, unthreatening fig ures. There are a few chestnuts (``What do ghosts eat for breakfast? Scream of wheat''), but readers should be both amused and educated to learn that: Dracula lives on ``necks to nothing'' and wore ``vampers'' when he was a tiny baby; witches like their eggs ``terri fried''; and the mummy's favorite mu sic is, of course, ragtime. John Pe ters, New York Public Library
