This book is entirely composed of riddles in poem form. Every page has a riddle, some pages have two. The illustrations correspond with the riddle on its page. The answer are also written upside down and backwards, as to have the answer available, but written in a way for a younger child to not be able to read it as easily. This book would be good when teachers are trying to get students to look at things in a different light. (

Riddle-icious contains a variety of poems that could be classified as riddles. The author combines the art from the illustrator to create helpful hints. The author also provides the answer for each poem in the corner of the page. I really enjoyed figuring out what the author was referring to in each poem. This book would be great to introduce poetry to elementary and older children. (

This book contains many different types of poetry. Lots of riddles, pictures, clues, could be a good mind jogger for older-elementary-aged students. Good way to introduce poetry and get children to interact with one another and begin to think.

This book was also very practical to me for young children and even adults. It was a bunch of mini facts thrown together to educate one on things they may not know. I enjoyed the poetry of this book and would definatey use it in a classroom setting. (

A clever and fun book of riddles, that had this reader guessing on every page. I think this would be a fun book to have in the classroom. (
