Anderson, a primary school librarian, is plenty of fun but has a very firm grasp on what kids like to read, what motivates them to read, and how they will apply literacy to their entire curriculum. She offers an amazing set of ideas to use humor everywhere in the classroom and school library from bulletin board to games, sharing exercises, and puppets, and also shows how riddles and other types of humor can give a boost to public relations efforts and even relationships with school families. She shows how to start and maintain a riddle file, how to create a "loony library," and how to apply riddles about animals, sports, holidays, creepy creatures, and popular children's entertainment and interests. She includes resource lists and reproducible samples. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
