Gr. 1^-2, younger for reading aloud. "Why should you never tell a joke to an egg? Because it might crack up." This addition to the authors' animal riddle books in the Dial Easy-to-Read series provides the usual mix of wordplay and silly nonsense, with deadpan full color pictures that add to the farce. Puns are a great way to entice new readers with the fun of words. They will get the yolk. Hazel Rochman
