"What do kitties like to put on their mouse-burgers?" Isn't it obvious? Why, "Cats-up" of course! "Why do kitties sing so well?" It's clear that "They're very mewsical." These and other silly riddles are sure to cause chortles, a few guffaws and probably a groan or two. Even if young readers don't quite understand the puns, they will readily appreciate the visual clues. Comical, cartoon-like line and wash illustrations are framed with one riddle and response on each page. Questions and answers are clearly differentiated by different size print. The result is an open and appealing format with humor right on target for the beginning reader. 2000, Puffin Easy-To-Read/Penguin Putnam,
