School-related puns abound in this early-reader collection of riddles and other goofy jokes. While there is nothing particularly new here, young children will enjoy the obvious, goofy jokes and may get valuable reading practice as they deliver their standup. Playful muted illustrations and italicized punch lines add context and clues to help young readers get the jokes.
