Gr 1-4 A good addition to the seemingly endless list of animal joke books. Vaguely separated into sections dealing with specific animals, the jokes are often clever and original. ``For what do you need atomic worms? Nuclear fishin'.'' The two-color pen-and-ink drawings are pleasant and good natured. Riddle and joke books are one of the best ways in which to get reluctant readers into books, and libraries can never have enough to fill the demand. This one is a welcome addition.
