(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sophie Fatus & Sophie Fatus. "What has a bottom at the top?" "A leg." The riddles in this welcome, browsable volume require readers to look beyond the obvious and think in terms of metaphor, allegory, and wordplay. The book contains teasers, riddle poems, and stories gathered from India and Russia, as well as other cultures. The amusing, detail-rich illustrations sometimes provide clues to the riddles' solutions.
