Outro livrinho com ilustrações do SD Schindler que encontrei no archive.org , dessa vez com brincadeiras em torno de trocadilhos vários em relação ao macabro. Bem divertido.

Puns, jokes, and ridiculous riddles like this one:

Why is the mad scientist never lonely? He's good at making new friends!

Our girls seem to be enamored with riddles right now and during a visit to the library, we came across a treasure trove of riddle books by Katy Hall and Lisa Eisenberg. So we have spent the weekend guffawing over Bunny Riddles, Chickie Riddles, Kitty Riddles, and our youngest's all-time favorite, Mummy Riddles. They all have very corny jokes, but fun nonetheless. And the illustrations are fun, too.

My favorite part of the book was when the skeleton was not dancing on the dance floor.
