Review: Kiddie Collection
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is a very short and illustrated joke book for younger children. Some of the jokes are very old, and most of them are corny. But they should be appreciated by the younger crowd, who may be able to a big kick out of the joke by figuring out the right answer, even if they haven't ever heard the joke before.The illustrations use fall colors instead of realistic colors, which is interesting, but a bit odd. Each main illustration is outlined in black, then white, and placed against a recurring background of falling leaves. The color theme gets a bit old by the end of the book (and it's a very short book).There are only 22 jokes in the collection. The last pages contain links to several other works by the author.  Advertising other works isn't a bad idea, in itself, and the technique has been used for years.  But in this case, it consumes a third of the book, and the pictures from the other collections look more interesting.
