Review — Guess Again!

By Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, New York
School Library Journal — June 26, 2006

Each of the 23 original poems in this collection is accompanied by an illustration that gives a clue to the answer. Solutions are found on the following pages.

The riddles range from the simple ("I chewed and I blew./It was the thing to do./Now I can't get it off my nose/and I can't get it off my shoe./Bubblegum") to the more challenging ("It's in the river/but not in the lake./It's in the raindrop/but not the snowflake./The letter R").

The double-page paintings, featuring two golden-haired children interacting and exploring the world around them, are bright, playful, and full of action. A good choice for riddle fans.
