KIDS ARE PUNNY compiled by Rosie O'Donnell (Warner, $10)

Excerpt

She's perceived as the Queen of Nice, the Wholesome Hostess, a woman so warm she makes Kathie Lee Gifford look surly. Since reintroducing civility to the mosh pit of daytime talk shows last June, Rosie O'Donnell has developed an aura of goodness that, like the ratings for her syndicated show, just keeps growing. O'Donnell's latest act of kindness-kinder even than giving Donny Osmond airtime—is this sweet, chuckle-filled collection of jokes, puns and riddles sent to her show by kids, at Rosie's request. All profits from the sale of the book go to the For All Kids Foundation, which dispenses the money to children's charities.
