A hilarious barnyard mystery featuring a bumbling goat detectiveA peaceful day on the farm turns to panic when Hen discovers her egg has been stolen! The only one who can crack the case? Billiam Van Hoof, the world’s number one goat detective (at least, that’s what he calls himself). As Van Hoof questions the animals and collects clues―a piece of eggshell, a yellow feather, and some tiny footprints―the answer to the mystery becomes obvious to everyone except the bumbling inspector.Readers will enjoy piecing together the clues long before the hapless goat detective and will laugh along with his ridiculous conclusions. The bright, comic illustrations in this graphic novel are filled with visual jokes and quirky details that kids will delight in finding. With a cast of lovable characters, this goofy mystery story―the first in the Farm Crimes series―is a great introduction to graphic novels, now in paperback.
My son laughed along as I read the book to him - rare for him to get the giggles the first time he hears a story, so the humor definitely worked for him. My son loved realizing over the course of the story that the goat detective was not as great as he was cracked up to be - lots of visual gags he picked out - and ultimately figuring out the mystery before the goat did, ha! (And FTR, we liked the artwork, contrary to another reviewer’s opinion.) Anyway, It’s a fun read-aloud and kid-friendly!
