      There comes a time in class when you have to teach riddles and poems. What better way to teach kids with a plot guessing book to see if they remember?! This book goes through various riddles that all children should know but you have to guess what riddle the book is talking about. I would probably use this book for an educational game or a pop quiz.
    • 4/5
      each page is a riddle that gives clues to another book a child would have read. Get to the end of the riddle and see if they can guess the other book.

      Not unlike "Once Upon a Time...The End" or the more recent "Fairly Fairy Tales" by Esme Raji Codell this is a fractured anthology of fairy tales in game form. Basically, the individual tales are stripped to their barest bones and the reader is asked to "name that book". The end contains an answer key and the reader can smack their foreheads about anything they missed. What I liked about this one than most books in this style is that he chose to use some more modern classics. One can only have fun identifying the same Mother Goose Tales and Brothers Grimm stories so many times before the love is gone. This used some of the "modern classics" and it revived a basically dead genre for the moment. Nicely done, though with J. Patrick Lewis that's usually the case.

      How many of these will you be able to solve? I highly recommend this to all devotees of children's literature. I got them all, but I sincerely doubt that even children's librarians always do.
    • 4/5
      This book of riddles is about books. How crazy is that? A book about books. But this book has riddles about book you already know. Read to see what book they are.
    • 2/5
      This collection of riddles challenges readers to guess which tale each poem is describing. The guessing game is fun, but the book seems like an advertisement for other books by this publishing company.
    • 4/5
      A fun filled book about familiar childrens' stories, that's told in riddle and rhyme. Each page is whimsically illustrated. Clues are given in riddle form. When my oldest daughter read this book, she knew all the answers. When my younger daughter read it with me, there were a few titles that she missed, oops!
