Cattle Capers

by Dawn M. Kravagna

Overview

Lured out of early retirement, master detective Adam Steer partners with the cops of Precinct 13 1/2 to solve the kidnapping of newspaper publisher, ostrich Madam Griselda Portentsky. But the ransom demand may be impossible to meet by the Sunday deadline: deliver the fabled MooMoo Pearl or the bird gets plucked. Not only do murderers and conmen stand in their path, but also the existence of the priceless pearl is in question. As the emotional pressures and obstacles mount to the exciting climax, will Adam and Chief of Police Pork succeed in saving Griselda in this comedy romp?

Do you like puns? Well, get ready for a ton of fun, then, cuz this book has puns galore! Just take a look at the names of the characters (Adam Steer --- and that means he's a what? a duck?). This is a fun mystery full of "old style" film noir atmostphere, but without any of the scary stuff. It looks like it might be for littler kids, say 8 and up, who might read it themselves, but when you read the book, you'll instantly know that it's for anyone of any age to enjoy. It's also enjoyable to read out loud, if you do that sort of thing at home. (And if you don't, well, really you should try that sometime. Reading out loud to your kids can be fun and an easy "bonding" activity.) The characters are well drawn, which is good, cuz apparently the author comes from a cartoon background! Over all, it's pretty much just like the cover - cute, cartoony, and accessible for all.
