What do you call an empty hot dog?
A hollow weenie.
From best-selling language writer and International Punster of the Year Richard Lederer comes this hilarious book about our spookiest holiday. On October 31, we carve faces on pumpkins, put on scary costumes, go out trick-or-treating, and devour mouth-watering, calorie-laden goodies, which always go to waist.
A Treasury of Halloween Humor is chock-full of puns, jokes, riddles, games, poems, stories, history, lore, and more! Inside you'll find biographies of your favorite monsters, including ghosts, skeletons, witches, Dracula, and Frankenstein.
A ghost and a witch with a broom
Stayed up very late
So that they could debate
About who should be frightened of whom!
A gallery of Jim McLean's sprightly drawings adds to the rollicking fun of A Treasury of Halloween Humor.
This is the perfect book for mummies, deadies, and children, and yourself -- everyone who enjoys Halloween humor!
