Tatiana Tapalaga brings together 300 funny riddles for children. She groups them by topic, with colour art alongside. The clues describe living things, objects and things that happen. They use metaphor: they describe one thing as something else. Readers must work out what each riddle means.

Children can share the puzzles with parents, grandparents and teachers. The book uses riddles to help children learn and recall facts. It also helps them build on what they know. Play and the wait for answers give breaks from learning.

Children study clues, compare them and link ideas to solve them. They think about ideas beyond things they can see or touch. They learn to draw broad rules from what things share. They also work from facts to rules, and from rules to conclusions.

The riddles aim to help children focus and learn to wait. They urge them to keep trying, too. They also help children dream up ideas, think in new ways and find humour.
