King Henry the Ape: Animal Jokes - Hardcover

Grade 2-4-- As with most riddle collections, this one has some jokes that are truly funny and original ("What do you call polar cows? Eskimoos.") and some that are trite and tired ("What's gray, has four legs and weighs two hundred pounds? A fat mouse."). For the most part, however, these will entertain the riddle set and have adult listeners groaning along. The black-and-white illustrations in Frascino's free-spirited, loose-lined style are expressive, clever complements to the riddles. Children who have devoured the other Keller books will further gorge themselves on this one. --Eva Elisabeth Von Ancken, Trinity Pawling School, NY
