Tried to enjoy on openlibrary but could only if I had a partner as the answer to the riddle is on the very next line, no chance to guess.

We totally must have gotten this out of the library after seeing it on Reading Rainbow! I can picture sitting in my brother's room at the foot of his bed reading these. I remember the cover too now that I saw it again on the RR site.

This joke book is about as good as any other; there are some good jokes and some not-so-good ones!
