Over 1,000 riddles, jokes, facts and puzzles in Ha! Ha! Ha! by Lyn Thomas, illus. by Dianne Eastman, invite readers to laugh and learn. For example, on a spread of ""Lost in Space"" riddles, readers learn why it is impossible for astronauts to cry in space (lack of gravity won't let the tears flow). Eastman's b&w cartoon and collage illustrations heighten the fun. (Owl [Firefly, dist.], $19.95 128p ages 6-9 ISBN 1-894379-15-2; $9.95 paper -16-0; May)
