A collection of rhymes gives children clues to the identity of the object of the rhyme, as the subject of the poem describes itself, and then gives the answer at the end of the verse.

PreSchool-Grade 3?Riddles are fun and so are rhymes. Put them together and you get a lighthearted guessing-game about everyday objects in a young child's life. Nearly half of the 15 poems have appeared in the magazines such as Turtle, Lollipops, and Child Life. Some have been retitled and slightly revised. Of the newest ones, "Undercover Friend" (a book) and "The Lonely Room" (the hall) are most appealing. Gorton's airbrushed acrylic illustrations use simple shapes and lots of primary colors. They are well designed and particularly effective, making the book fresh and interesting to young listeners and independent readers. An attractive addition.?Pamela K.

Ages 3^-8. Appealing graphic-style artwork illustrates an equally appealing collection of 15 rhyming riddles. Written in the first person, the simple verses are drawn from children's everyday experiences. There are shadows, insects, autumn leaves, clocks, books, and mirrors. Several clues energize each poem: "I like flowers / I like sun / I like gardens / Just for fun . . ." Combining a 1950s sensibility with a slick postmodern style, the full-page acrylic paintings mix basic yet bold shapes and colors Julie Corsaro
