Spot the Plot: A Riddle Book of Book Riddles by J. Patrick Lewis, illustrated by Lynn Munsinger, Chronicle Books, 2009, ISBN 978-0-8118-4668-4
"The sky shook, the wind tossed..me in the air. Toto-ly lost." Remind you of a book? That's the premise behind this clever collection of riddles. All are designed, of course, to get you to think of a book you may have read (hopefully!). Some are well known, such as Peter Rabbit and Cinderella, and others might require a little more reading experience, such as Ferdinand the Bull and Pinocchio. Included is one of my favorites from early childhood: the one about the rabbit who can't go to sleep til he says goodnight to the _____. Answers are given in the back, if you really need them.
Good for a year end read-aloud.
Sylvia Vardell has a great write-up about this book and other Riddle Poems on her blog: Poetry for Children. Credit goes to Deborah Sloan's blog, The Picnic Basket, for this link to Sylvia Vardell.
