This is a delightfully funny and clever book from punster Stan Kegel
and word maven Richard Lederer. Using lyrics from Broadway shows and
popular songs they've written jokes, puns and groaners, some original
and others free floating oldies, and created musical punchlines by
altering letters or words. This book is a double delight, bringing to
readers both the joke and the song that that has inspired its
punchline -- you'll be singing (and groaning) as you read it.

This book was bought for a gift. You have to love puns to enjoy this book, which made it the perfect gift for a particular friend.

I enjoyed the humor, but I also enjoyed the way each story made me think and have my suspicians confirmed (answers) and motivated me to think of other 'punchlines" and stories that might lead up to them. All in all--a great stress reliever and much needed. Sending some to friends and relatives for Christmas.

I love Richard Lederer's books, but this is a real groaner. I would recommend it only to diehard punsters, and even then, with serious reservations

I love a good pun, but this book doesn't supply the goods for me.
