(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jess Pauwels. Whobert, owl detective, finds Perry possum flat on his back, looking, well, not alive. "Who, who done it?" Searching for an eyewitness and clues, Whobert accuses several forest animals before learning the truth from the victim. The mixed-media illustrations make clear that Perry is merely playing possum and let young readers in on the joke: Whobert is unwittingly the culprit ("Your...talons gave me such a fright, I played dead").
Reviewer: Sheila M. Geraty
