I think this book must have already felt dated when it came out in 1966. Many of the jokes turn on items or idioms that would be alien and inscrutable to my daughter today. Heck, even I had trouble sussing out some of these riddles, they're so archaic.

Also, a lot of riddles are repetitive, just slightly rephrased or using the same logic in the solution as several other jokes in the collection.

A notation on the title page says this book was adapted from the author's 1001 Riddles (a/k/a 1001 Riddles for Children, I believe) from 1949. This book is only 64 pages, with maybe around 300 or 400 riddles.… (meer)

This was a reread for me, I picked it up at the thrift store and had to take it home as these were some of my favourite books as a preteen. Not quite as fantastic as I remember but still a fun childhood memory read.
