This feast of jokes, limericks, and riddles stars the silliest animals you'll ever meet in fifteen pun-packed scenes from pre-Hysterical times to a Bison-tennial ball. "There are plenty of good jokes here....Other elements add to the book's appeal, such as the puns and visual jokes that go along with the scenes....A solid choice for the humor shelves."--School Library Journal.

From Booklist:

Gr. 2^-4. Cleverly organized into 15 thematic spreads, this serves up a mind-boggling number of puns and riddles about animals. In the first scene, "Pre-Hysterical Times," dinosaur jokes range from real groaners ("BONE appetit!" ) to the respectably witty ("Which dinosaur had the largest vocabulary? The thesaurus" ). Each scene's jokes and illustrations revolve around some type of creature--monkeys, fleas, spiders--and young jokesters should pick up quite a bit of information amid giggles. Impressive in their busyness, if not their beauty, brightly colored illustrations provide solid visual support for the brain-teasing text. For larger collections. Julie Yates Walker
