Eggshell-ent! Easter Crack-Ups: Knock-Knock Jokes Funny-Side Up by Katy Hall and Lisa Eisenberg

KNOCK KNOCK!

WHO'S THERE?

BUNNY!

BUNNY WHO?

BUNNY-TH THIS ROCK I FOUND AN EGG!

Combine bunnies, colored eggs, happy kids, and clever lift-the-flap tricks and knock-knock puns to dye for and what do you get? Well, if it's Easter time, you'll want to get Katy Hall's and Lisa Eisenberg's Easter Crack-Ups: Knock-Knock Jokes Funny-Side Up (Lift-the-Flap Knock-Knock Book), a springtime stalwart in the over-lightly genre of knock-knock joke books. Billed as knock-knocks funny-side-up, this standby combines eggs-traordinary pun-ditry with clever flappery to keep early elementary readers, as advertised, cracking up and turning those pages.

KNOCK KNOCK!

WHO'S THERE?

SHERWOOD!

SHERWOOD WHO?

SHERWOOD LIKE TO BE IN THE EASTER PARADE!

Those wizards of wordsmithery, Hall and Eisenberg, roll out practically every groaner in the basket in more than a baker's dozen of punny-side up fun as a group of kids come together for an Easter picnic and egg hunt ("Easter a picnic in this park today?") on the village green. For early elementary readers just beginning to appreciate the fl-egg-sibility of their native tongue, this sturdy and in-eggs-pensive little book is just what the Easter Bunny ordered:

KNOCK KNOCK!

WHO'S THERE?

ABBY!

ABBY WHO?

ABBY EASTER!
