Nice, but utterly forgettable book of riddles and short moralistic stories. The illustrations, created using China ink and watercolor, are colorful, but a bit rudimentary for my taste.

[Emily Willis]

This is a rather large book with different puzzles, riddles, and mind challenges. I would say this book could be appropriate for 3rd-5th graders. Some of these puzzles had me stumped, and this could be a good whole group activity where students try to come up with answers. This is really engaging and get people thinking. You could even do a "Riddle a Day" or something, where everyday you read aloud a riddle and give students time thing ponder about them. I also really love how they have the answers on the back.

It was fun to go through the riddles once and try to figure them out as we drove across country.

This is a lovely collection of fun riddles. And I'm giving it 5 stars because it's one of my daughter's favorite books.
