Review by Horn Book Review

Originally published in two volumes--[cf2]Bennett Cerf's Book of Riddles[cf1] (1960) and [cf2]More Riddles[cf1] (1961)--this collection contains classic riddles (What is the best thing to put in a pie?) with the responses (Your teeth) printed upside-down just beneath each question. Simple vocabulary and comic illustrations make this a good introduction for young comedians in search of material. From HORN BOOK Fall 2000, (c) Copyright 2010.
