(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stephen Axelson. After he goes up the hill, Jack famously falls...but is his crown lost or stolen? On the case is Joe Dumpty--Humpty's brother and the detective in this book's predecessor, What Really Happened to Humpty?. This rib-tickler abounds with punning dialogue-balloon commentary from the cartoonishly rendered Mother Gooseland suspects ("I don't know beans about this," says Jack of beanstalk fame).
Reviewer: Nell Beram
