What Really Happened to Humpty?: From the Files of a Hard-Boiled Detective

32 pp. | Charlesbridge | February, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58089-109-7 $15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stephen Axelsen. After Humpty falls off his famous perch, his trench coat–wearing detective brother, Joe Dumpty, sets out to prove that he was pushed. Miss Muffet (a.k.a. Muffy), Chicken Little, and the Big Bad Wolf are all suspects. The story, including loads of puns (Humpty: "I'm shell-shocked") and comic strip–style panels with dialogue balloon commentary, goes down over-easy.
