Synopsis:
Whatever comes up during the day, you can amuse your friends by asking a riddle about it - eating, studying for a test, going to the town centre, watching TV, or playing with a pet. Sports, animals, music: everything's an opportunity to show off how clever you are: What is the smartest insect? A spelling bee! What do astronomers sing in the bath? "When you wash upon a star"! What lullaby do you sing to a fish? Salmon-chanted evening! What subject do snakes like best at school? Hissssstory! What starts with a 'e' and only has one letter in it? Envelope! What did the Knight say to a man from Honolulu? "How are ye"! Humour really is important in the development of a child's grasp of language and logic. Genuine learning takes place during word play, and the knowledge developed during joke telling helps to reinforce similar skills acquired in the more formal context of the classroom. Latest collection off the production line at the Sterling joke factory: a whole series of humour category best-sellers for 6 - 9 and 9 - 12 year olds.
From the Back Cover:
Why will this book make you giggle and laugh out loud again and again? Because it's filled with tons of riddles, one more ridiculous than the last! Get a load of these and just try to keep a straight face:
Why are fish so easy to weigh?
They come with their own scales!
If you have nine bowling balls in one hand and six in the other, what do you have?
Really big hands!
Why was the newborn bird so afraid?
He was a little chicken!
What do you say to someone who's sorry the book is over?
Don't worry, you're not riddle me yet!
