KidsBookshelf"Ryland’s
tongue-in-cheek “mystery” will entertain young listeners. Accompanied by a smattering of narration, the comic-panel-style illustrations depict the animals’ dialogue in colors that match their fur (or feathers). The digitally created illustrations resemble watercolor and colored pencil and feature big-eyed cartoon forest creatures.
A whimsical whodunit." --
