(4) K-3 Giggle Fit series. Illustrated by Steve Harpster. The riddles are silly--sometimes even dumb ("What lizard wears a hairpiece?" "A wiguana") in a blandly designed volume that also includes a few knock-knock jokes. The accompanying black-and-white drawings are cartoony. A helpful subject index directs readers to riddles about particular topics.

(4) K-3 Giggle Fit series. Illustrated by Steve Harpster. Kids drawn to these books by their humorous content and color cartoon art will chuckle over the punny riddles ("Why was the broom late for school?" "It overswept"), stumble at repeating "bad black bran bread," and knock themselves out with knock-knocks. Though the quality of the humor is uneven, the presentation is kid-friendly. Each volume contains an index that will be helpful for those seeking riddles about specific topics.

(4) K-3 Giggle Fit series. Illustrated by Steve Harpster. The books in this series contain riddles, though School also features a number of humorous dialogues between teachers, school nurses, and class clowns. Some of the riddles are entertaining ("How would you feel if you saw real live dinosaurs?" "Very, very old"), while many others will induce groans. But the uncluttered layout, cartoonlike art, and helpful subject indices give these volumes appeal.

(4) K-3 Giggle Fit series. Illustrated by Steve Harpster. Although these volumes serve up familiar fare ("What would you get if you crossed a clock and a chicken? An alarm cluck"), the presentation, with simple color comic art and lots of white space on each page, may be appealing for young readers. The title Nutty Jokes is something of a misnomer, though, since the book contains only riddles, not jokes. Each volume is helpfully indexed by subject. Ind.
