Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-"Toadally cool." That's how beginning readers will describe this collection of puns, riddles, and jokes related to frogs and toads. Among the punniest are: "What do you call froggy sandals? Open-toad shoes," and "Which froggy was a Viking? Leap Eriksson." Bender's paintings perfectly complement the humor and provide some visual clues for new readers.

From Booklist
Gr. 2. Learning to read is fun when riddles are involved. If kids don't look carefully, they might think this is about rabbits, but no, that sound is "ribbit," the noise that frogs make. Some of the riddles are funny: "What game do little frogs play? Leap people." A few need some advanced language skills: "What happened when the frog left his car in the NO Parking zone? His car was toad." The distinctive art, cell-vinyl on layers of acetate, has a shimmery, almost fuzzy look that catches the eye--and the jokes. Part of the series that includes Sheepish Riddles (1996) and Kitty Riddles (2000). Ilene Cooper

This review is from: Ribbit Riddles (Puffin Easy-To-Read - Level 3) (Paperback)
My oldest granddaughter (6) is heavily into riddles and knock-knock jokes. Found this book at a library book sale. You'll find wonderful color illustrations in the book (illustrator is Robert Bender), but some of the riddles might be too obscure for the average six year old to understand. However, that said, they can be a jumping off point for discussions about the answer. One example is: "Which Froggy was a Viking? Answer--"Leap Eriksson." We haven't quite gotten to Viking history yet in our educational repertoire. Other riddles though made my granddaughter laugh--like "What do little frogs like to eat on a hot summer day?--Answer--Hopsicles." For some reason she thought this was the funniest riddle ever and has told it over and over and over....
