This book is hilarious. It was written for kids, but its funny to me as an adult. Some of the oldest sayings are in this book. One that I don't think a kid would get is: "I never forget a face. In your case, that would be two of them." You could say that as an insult to someone that is bugging you, or for someone that just shot you a low blow.

I first got this book as a child, yet I still giggle my way through the end. The illustrations are stellar and the characters sassy. Rosenbloom gives them life by his wit and cheese-packed charm. This bugger is a superficial laugh for all ages; it sparks off a quick fix of brain neurons and widens the grin.

I think the book was great. The funny jokes and riddles made my parents laugh so hadrd the cried. My dog even liked it. I will make sure I tell everyone to buy this book. When I read this book the jokes where sooooooooooooo funny I am still laughihng about the mouse one it was soooooo funny. I thing I will read all the joke books I see from now on!!!!!!!!!!11

Covering a wide range of popular misconceptions, this book is a revelation to the aspiring trivia gatherer. As each myth is dispelled, a new wave of clarity washes over the ecstatic reader. It is one of the great tragedies of our day that such works of literature have gone out of print. Schools would do well to add it to their reading lists and no good coffee table should be without it.

This pleasantly plump book (almost 480 pages!) is crammed full of riddles, knock-knocks, jokes, verses, put-downs and tongue twisters. My eleven-year-old daughter got this book, since she is quite a wit, and she loves it. It has lots of really good jokes and whatnot in it, and has proved to be a source of hours of entertainment. She and I both highly recommend this book to you.

This is a great book on a rainy, cloudy day. Or just a bright warm sunny day. It has lots of wiggly jiggly tongue twisters. It's agreat book for Children and adults. Any age will enjoy a day of tongue twisters. The author does a very good job of keeping you glued to this book. Lots of tougue twisters are very fuuny and cool. There are nice easy tongue twisters and ones that can blow the top of your top.You can have fun with these. I really recommend this book over any other tongue twister book. I can't go anywhere without this book! So if you love tongue twisters try this book! It will get your tongue rolling lolling tolling so fast that you'll never put it down! ORder now!

This is an excellent book for primary school children. The character Deputy Dan is similiar to Amelia Bedelia in the Amelia Bedelia series by Peggy Parrish. Deputy Dan is a funny character which teaches children the double meaning of words in the English language. For example, after someone has knocked on the door, the sheriff tells Deputy Dan to answer the door. Deputy Dan goes to the door and says, "Hello, door!" I hope you enjoy Deputy Dan's silliness as much as my second grade class.

Hi This is a great book, I was a School Resource Officer for 3 years and the kids love to hear stories of my chosen career , so, i tell them it is similar to the book because we have to do what the Sheriff says and it is a lesson in following instructions even in school as a student.

We love this book! The story is very simple to follow and is very funny. Deputy Dan is comparible to Amelia Bedelia books. The sheriff will give deputy Dan an order and deputy Dan follows it to the letter. Like when he tells him to pick up his horse and go after the bank robbers. Deputy Dan knows he can not pick up his horse, it is too heavy, but he always follows orders so he gets a crane to pick up his horse. We read this story aloud to the kids and we all giggle at the antics of deputy Dan. I highly recommend this book to all families. It is a joy.

The Dinosaur Interplanetary Gazette likes this book! BUT there are not enough dinosaur riddles! See our review at www.users.interport.net/~dinosaur/books.htm

Since I love to cook, I enjoyed this one:

"What mysterious thing did the scientist see in the skillet?"

An unidentified frying object!

If you know a child who will enjoy this type of humor, they will enjoy this book.

I purchased this book because I needed riddles to include in a newsletter. There certainly are a lot of riddles in here, and the index is very helpful so you can find ones on certain topics, but many of the riddles sound old-fashioned, like they were from the 1960s or so. I assume kids are the ones using this book the most, and I can't imagine that they relate to many of these riddles. Also, many of the riddles are only lukewarm (not that witty or funny). Maybe this isn't a problem for kids. But for an adult writer or riddle collector, I'm not so sure.

i found the book had some great riddles in it,but it did not have the paticular riddle that has had me and sevral others stump for a while. i heard the riddle from an elderly man sometime back. the riddle is. A MAN WITH NO EYES(OR I'S)SAW PAIRS IN A TREE, HE TOOK NO PAIRS,HE LEFT NO PAIRS,HOW COULD THIS BE. I do not know the answer to this riddle, but i would like to buy the book that does. Could you please give some kind of feedback to this. It would be a great thing. thank you clovis

This book, has loads of riddles like Q:If you throw a pumpkin in the air, what will come down? A:Squash And more stuff! So buy this book now, and laugh tomorrow!

This book keeps young readers entertained with clever pictures & lost of discriptive words. It is a thrilling book that helps children learn to read.

This is a classic book for young readers and I had thought it would be accurate on the level of the readers. I looked back at a copy with a publishing date of 1985 and I was shocked when I saw the apatasaurus called the old, incorrect name of "brontosaurus." But that was not the worst error! Many older books have the name wrong 9and thus the wrong head, but that can be a minor thing.
But it got worse when it showed the "brontosaurus" as having nostrils on top of its head, which is actually a feature of the Brachiasaurus. And then having it hid from the Allosaurus (correct predator, at least) under water perpetuates the swamp-dwelling, water-immersing behavior model which is again incorrect.
If only those offending pages could be excised it would get four or five stars. The book does show the flying and swimming contemporaries of the dinosaurs; correctly identifying them as not being "dinosaurs." That could be more explicit but the point is made, even if subtly.

Now I see above there is a new publishing date. I hope the offending passage has been corrected. Then it would be a solid four-star book.

This is a good book for kids starting to read, that have an interest in dinosaurs. My son likes the part about how nobody knows what color dinosaurs were.

My four year old son checked this book out of the library. I've renewed the loan twice. He loves it so much that I just purchased two copies. _Dinosaur Days_ is informative and engaging for the young reader. He even uses it as a reference work to check whether he is correct in his indentification of his toy dinosaurs. I would highly recommend this book!
