From School Library Journal

Grade 1-5?Although Alvin Schwartz seems to have a virtual monopoly on children's books demonstrating the peculiarities and foolishness of the English language, there is certainly room on the shelves for Walking the Bridge of Your Nose. Rosen has chosen an attractive mixture of puns, tongue twisters, riddles, sayings, and chants that he promises will leave readers "...baffled, bamfoozled, bewitched, and bedazzled." Some rhymes are familiar, some are not; most are taken from sources that are no longer in print. The selections are scattered across oversized pages and embellished with bright, childlike illustrations that catch the humor and hint at the solutions to the riddles. The colorful format makes this volume more accessible to younger children than Schwartz's titles. An entertaining addition.?Judith Constantinides, East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA
