You read half and couldn't take it anymore. We may finish the rest later?

Great fun for elementary age kids!

The only reason this book even got 2 stars is because my sons thought a few of these were funny

[Christopher Lutz · Rating 1 out of 5]

Without a doubt the dumbest book I’ve read to my toddler. Unfunny, unimaginative, and lazy.

Read these to my date, who is a grown man and not a child. He did laugh and he did guess some correctly. Personally I was enamored by the illustrations.

This is not the version I read first. I may have seen this edition, but when I was a child my parents had several Bennett Cerf books, and they were NOT 'beginner books'. I learned many classic riddles from those sources, and other standard jokes. I don't know why the search function is not displaying properly. But this one will do, for a start.
