(4) K-3 Kids Can Read series. Illustrated by Eric Parker. Two themed volumes contain riddles about animals ("What did the boy bird call the girl bird?" "His tweet-heart") and food ("What did one pork chop say to the other?" "Pleased to meat you"). The pun-filled riddles are often groaners, but the simple presentation--a single riddle per page, accompanied by a slapdash color illustration--will appeal to early readers.

(4) K-3 Kids Can Read series. Illustrated by Eric Parker. Spooky contains riddles about ghosts, mummies, and other scary types ("What do witches put on their bagels?" "Scream cheese"); Yucky contains riddles about bad breath and toenail clippings and features punch lines like "Happy Barf-day to you!" Both books include a few groaners, but the presentation--one riddle and loosely drawn color image per page--will lure beginning readers.
