Illustrated by
J. P. Sandy.
Cleary presents a wide variety of language humor, ranging from anagrams and Tom Swifties to cartoons and mathematical poems. He also encourages readers to try writing their own humor. Illustrations add to the fun by exaggerating and providing extra details. Though the whole has a scattered, disjointed quality, there's much to challenge older-elementary readers. Reading list, websites.
