Farm Crimes: Cracking the Case of the Missing Egg

Junior graphic novel

Laugh-out-loud funny and filled with hidden gags

Curriculum connections to visual literacy

A peaceful day on the farm turns to panic when Hen discovers her egg has
been stolen! The only one who can crack the case? Billiam Van Hoof, the
world’s number one goat detective (at least, that’s what he calls
himself).

As Van Hoof questions the animals and collects clues—a piece of
eggshell, a yellow feather, and some tiny footprints—the answer to the
mystery becomes obvious to everyone except the bumbling inspector.

Readers will enjoy piecing together the clues long before the hapless
goat detective and will laugh along with his ridiculous conclusions. The
bright, comic illustrations in this junior graphic novel are filled
with visual jokes and quirky details that kids will delight in finding.
With a cast of lovable characters, this goofy mystery story is a great
introduction to graphic novels.
