Grade 1-3-A collection of riddles about vampires, ghosts, ghouls, and assorted monsters. The selections are presented in an easy-to-read format with the answer immediately following each question. The selections are not particularly fresh but the illustrations are a scream. Schindler uses a fine-nibbed pen to include lots of subtle details before adding vivid watercolor washes. The sea monster who likes to eat "Fish-and-ships" shows the captain holding his nose as he abandons a vessel being consumed by a grinning sea serpent. Details like this make Creepy Riddles a superior choice for most joke or beginning-to-read collections.

Gr. 1^-3, younger for reading aloud. Weird and lurid enough for Halloween howls, these riddles combine horrible scenarios ("What did the zombie eat after he had a tooth taken out? The dentist!") with Schindler's detailed, crosshatched, colorful, grotesque illustrations. As always with riddles, puns are the main source of pleasure, from pictures of "ghoulfriends" and Dracula reading his "horror-scope" to sea monsters eating "fish-and-ships." Part of the Easy-to-Read series, this is sure to be as popular as Hall and Eisenberg's other riddle books. The spooky nonsense is just right for showing that reading is fun. Hazel Rochman
