Buggy Riddles

"Brightly colored and amusingly drawn, the pictures are far superior to most seen in standard riddle and joke books. This makes learning to read fun".--Kansas State Reading Circle.

Grade 1-4 The team that created Fishy Riddles (Dial, 1983) is back with a bug banquet of riddles featuring fleas ("What did the flea say when the puppy ran away? Doggone!"), ants ("What bug likes picnics, dresses in a red suit, and has a white beard? Ant-a Claus!") and other assorted insectoid and arachnid types. The riddle selection is a good one, and the format makes for appealing easy-readingone riddle and answer per page, accompanied by a cartoon illustration. The pictures are full-color this time, and their funny critter cast in multi-legged costume provides comic explanation and elaboration. When the riddle bug bites, this will give youngsters a buzz; when they drive you buggy, just remind them why frogs are so happy ("They eat whatever bugs them").
