Humpty Dumpty Jr: Hardboiled Detective

Published by SourceBooks/Jabberwocky:
From the (fairly) scrambled minds of three acclaimed children’s writers and illustrators comes a hilarious new detective who always cracks the case.

Set on the grimy streets of New Yolk City, where the Queen of Hearts lives in Queens (where else?), the adventures of Humpty Dumpty, Jr. are sure to delight early and chapter-book readers alike. This is the start of a very funny, totally action-packed new series no one will want to miss!

Once Upon a Crime:
There was a detective.
Me.
Humpty Dumpty Jr., Hardboiled Detective. I’m a good egg who always cracks the case. One morning, sitting at my desk, I watched the sun rise out my grimy window.
Dawn light played peek-a-boo through the tall skyscrapers of the gritty city.
My city.
New Yolk City.
A crazy, dangerous, beautiful town.

I am very pleased to announce that Humpty Dumpty Jr. Hardboiled Detective has been selected as an "Inspired recommendation for kids from independent booksellers"! Thanks for this great honor!
