Book Synopsis
Join the animals and follow the clues in this rollicking, rhyming, nature-inspired whodunit story full of fun collective nouns!
A mischief of mice has gone missing on a blustery fall day. Now a scurry of squirrels is scared, while a band of coyotes howls nearby. Did an unkindness of ravens do something mean? Could a prickle of porcupines possibly help? Luckily, a sleuth of bears comes along to help solve the mystery.
