Summary: Fun Book
Comment: My kids keep coming back to this book to their favorites to find the clue that reveals the answer. The book jacket mentions that the riddles "recall more ancient queries-the question rhymes from Mother Goose . . . or the riddle game between Bilbo baggins and Gollum in _The Hobbit_." They also reminded me of Beatrix Potters' _The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin_. The illustrations and actions in this book also give clues just like that story. Some clues are deliberately misleading, like seeing live horses galloping into the ocean when the real answer--seahorse--is instead carefully sculpted into the clouds. There is a pleasing mix of solving ability. My 5 year old was successful at a few, while a couple were a bit difficult for me. I would wait for the lower priced paperback edition to come out, as there are only 26 riddles.
