Wicked Fun 4 Kids – Games for the Brain, by Kate Booker

What has teeth but never eats?
When does Friday come before Thursday?
Which nut has a hole in the middle of it?

These are some of the easier riddles in this fun new offering from ABC Books. The 94 pages of this little book are packed with riddles, quizzes, trivia, word teasers and more, guaranteed to keep kids (and adults) guessing.

The challenges are organised into difficulty levels, with Easy Fun followed by Medium Fun and, ultimately, Wicked Fun. Each section is followed by answers and sprinkled with jokes and fun illustrations.

Kate Booker is the creator of the immensely popular wicked4kids website, which is visted by 30 000 children every week. The brain games in the book come from contributions sent to the website from all over the world.

This is a great offering for kids aged eight and over and would make a good gift.

Wicked Jokes and Wicked Rhymes & Knock Knocks

What do you call a sick bird?
An ill-eagle.

What does a hippy pea say?
Peas dude!

Kids love jokes, and these two little books are filled with jokes contributed by kids from all over the world. From the plain silly to the hilarious, kids of all ages will find plenty of jokes they haven’t heard, as well as revisiting some they have.

The jokes have been chosen by webmistress Kate Booker, from those contributed to her highly succesful website wicked4kids. With 70 000 children visiting the site every month, wicked4kids is a great success. Booker, in recognition of the popularity of the jokes section of the site, invited children to contribute jokes for consideration and received an overwhelming response. The result is these two books.

Each book has 125 pages of jokes and is small enough to be slipped in a pocket or backpack. At just $7.95 (rrp) they are also a great buy!
