Mr. Putney's Quacking Dog

48 pp. | Scholastic/di Capua | August, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-545-16203-6 $16.95
(2) K-3 In a set of twenty portmanteau puns ("Who is building Mr. Putney's hot tub? A boa constructor") we follow our hero through an event-filled day. The riddle pattern lends itself perfectly to page-turn suspense and wild guesses. Agee's pared-down cartoon style adds to the fun: "Who is snooping on Mr. Putney?" A spyena--in trench coat, shades, and a fedora.
