This second volume of riddle poems by the team that produced With One White Wing is just as entertaining as the first. The riddles on each page are accompanied by small, anecdotal watercolors that hold clues to the answer, some of them purposely misleading. Several are written in rhyme, but rhyming or not, they all benefit from reading aloud and they all tweak the imagination.
