I doubt whether readers would get the most out of this poetry collection simply by dipping in. This is an exploration of laughter through four dozen poems, riddles and rhymes that slowly build up a picture of what the poet is getting at. Youngsters will possibly find them mysterious and quizzing rather than side-splitting. It's well worth stocking for kids who want to think.
