Product Description
by Brianna Caplan Sayres (Author), Mark Fearing (Illustrator)
A barnyard mystery takes on a noir-esque spin in this hilarious picture book chock full of puns, perfect for fans of 7 Ate 9 and Interrupting Chicken.
Inspector H. Poulet has a new case on her wings. The Chicken has apparently crossed the road, and no one knows why. Can the Inspector get to the bottom of this tangled nest of questions? Squawking from one udderly unhelpful clue to the next, H. Poulet follows The Chicken's path across the farm. But the case seems totally scrambled! If the Inspector can't solve it soon, she'll have egg on her face. In the end, the mystery resolves itself with a sunny-side-up twist: a surprise birthday party awaits H. Poulet on the other side of the road. The animals flock together for a barnyard bash, and the Inspector retains her eggcellent reputation--despite having missed all evidence of the party. From the bestselling author of Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night?, this laugh-out-loud farm adventure has wacky, kid friendly illustrations by animator Mark Fearing. Readers young and old will love spotting the clues that H. Poulet overlooks and relish every cleverly crafted pun.Author Biography
