**My thoughts**
Kids love to tell riddles and jokes and this book is going to supply them with a giant fresh new batch to torture, I mean entertain, everyone with. This collection feels fresh and new to me, though you will find some classics in it as well. They're collected by general theme on the pages, so you can find the kind of joke you're looking for. The illustrations are bright and whimsical and the text is easy to read. I also like how they mixed things up a bit, like with a couple of pages, you have to match the riddle to its punchline. I got a total kick out of this book as an adult and think kids are going to love it, too.

Thank you to the publisher for fulfilling my review request via NetGalley.. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

'The World According to Perdita Whacknoodle: The Christmas Hayride of Doom' by Jim Gibson


BLURB:

In Perdita Whacknoodle's fourth book, her adventurous dog-father tries to bring holiday cheer to everyone at the town's big Christmas festival. He's convinced that the humans will LOVE the dogs' new Christmas songs.

But, as usual, he's wrong. And before the evening is over the dogs have created utter chaos at the festival. There's a huge police chase, the police chief gets hopelessly tangled in flashing Christmas lights, and Perdita's father takes the police and the pompous school principal on a furious hayride through the town.

It's a night the town will NEVER forget!

And when you read these stories about the world according to Perdita Whacknoodle, you'll never forget them, either!
