Hedgehog Whodunit: The Protective Order of Peanuts (P.O.O.P.)

Beschreibung

A missing elephant, a secret society, and a hedgehog detective who'd rather be napping. Young readers will love this laugh out loud punny chapter book with black-and-white illustrations throughout that encourages problem-solving and critical thinking skills, for fans of Narwhal & Jelly, Leila & Nugget, and Diary of a Pug. Hitch the hedgehog is the City Zoo's sharpest detective (and also, its sleepiest). But when his sidekick, Vinnie the rat, discovers an invitation to a mysterious group called The Protective Order of Peanuts (P.O.O.P.), Hitch's quiet life is turned upside down. Suddenly, the head elephant has vanished, the other animals are acting suspicious, and someone is siphoning all the zoo's water! With his trusty badge, a few questionable disguises, and Vinnie's endless appetite for both food and trouble, Hitch must crack the case before the whole zoo goes nuts. Can he uncover the truth and still squeeze in his nap? One thing's for sure--this is one mystery that's not to be sniffed at! Perfect for fans of funny animal adventures, mystery-solving mayhem, and pun-tastic wordplay! "Preusser packs a hedgehog-load of wordplay, puns, and tasty twists into this whodunit, guaranteeing giggles til the case is closed." -- Marcie Colleen, bestselling author of Kitten Ninja and Time Buddies, for Hedgehog Whodunit (Volume 1) "Hedgehog Whodunit is a fast and funny mystery book for young readers." -- Jane Yolen, Caldecott Medal Winner, for Hedgehog Whodunit (Volume 1) "Silly fun is found on every page of this lively whodunit. Witty banter full of puns, accompanied by engaging black and white illustrations, will keep readers turning the page!" -- Ariel Bernstein, author of Warren & Dragon and Mabel Wants a Friend, for Hedgehog Whodunit (Volume 1) "Many children enjoy books that involve silliness, puns, and poop, and this book will meet that need." - School Library Journal, for Hedgehog Whodunit (Volume 1)

Autor

Heather Preusser earned a BA in English and art history from Williams College, an MA in education from the University of Colorado, and an MFA in creative writing from the University of Southern Maine. When not writing, Heather teaches high school English, bikes the European countryside, and attempts to learn ridiculously long German words. She and her husband reside in Colorado. Gal Weizman was born in Jerusalem, dreaming of flying above the white stone houses of her neighborhood like Peter Pan. As she grew older and became more acquainted with the laws of gravity, she had to abandon that plan. Instead, she devised a different way to never grow up: she attended Bezalel Academy of Arts and learned to draw. Gal loves to illustrate animals and creatures, and to see her creations come to life as they experience all those often funny, at times touching, and occasionally awkward situations that inhabit the colorful world of fiction. Her illustrations are bouncing through games and TV shows, they sit on packaging and live in various children's books around the globe ... and sometimes, one hides under her drawing board, waiting to be teased out into the light. They are playful creatures, so please be kind to them, she loves them all.
