The Crown Affair – Booktalking #kidlit

The Crown Affair (Nursery-Rhyme Mysteries)
by Jeanie Franz Ransom (Author) and Stephen Axelsen (Illustrator)

Booktalk: In the sequel to What REALLY Happened to Humpty?, Jack (Jill’s other half) fell down the Hill and had his crown stolen. It’s up to detective Joe Dumpty to round up the usual suspects and track down the culprit.

Snippet:
When did you notice the crown was missing?” I asked.
“Not right away,” Jill replied. “First, I checked on Jack. Then I called 9-1-1. After that, it’s a blur. I was a little dizzy myself. I came tumbling down after, you know?”
