K-3Kids 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.
