I enjoyed this riddle-poems book for a few different reasons. One thing I liked about this riddle-poem book was that the illustrations supported the riddle-poem and helped the reader to better understand what the poem was describing. I also like that the author provided an answer key at the end of what each poem was describing. I thought this was great because it does not leave the reader completely guessing what the author was trying to portray.
The main purpose of this book is to open the reader’s eyes to different perspectives of life through a different lens.
