(2) K-3 Illustrated by Richard Egielski. Jack Webb of "Dragnet" is clearly the inspiration for Ducktective Web, the lead detective in this witty satire. The straightforward plot delivers an uncomplicated mystery concerning a case of vanishing vegetables. The lampoonery includes familiar preschool territory, with multiple allusions to fairy tales and Mother Goose. The illustrations lend energy to the caper, showing the deadpan ducks hot on the trail.
