K-Gr 2—Based on characters created by Meddaugh and portrayed on PBS, this book is full of puns, plays on words, and riddles for beginning readers. Colorful cartoon characters query each other through dialogue in speech bubbles or across the top of the pages in an easy-to-read format. The jokes involve animals, mainly dogs. "What goes 'woof, woof, tick, tick'? A watchdog." Children will easily appreciate the humor, and the book would fit well into classroom collections.—Erlene Bishop Killeen, Stoughton Area School District, WI
