Mother Gooseland's resident detective Joe Dumpty returns in this irresistibly clever retelling of Jack and Jill's fall down the hill.

Full of puns and fractured fairy tale characters you know and love, this rollicking sequel to What REALLY Happened to Humpty? will engross you in yet another Joe Dumpty, Private Eye mystery. 

Jack (Jill’s other half) fell down the Hill and had his crown stolen. The Mother Gooseland Games are coming up, and that crown is the grand prize, so detective Dumpty is on the clock! It’s up to P. I. Joe Dumpty to round up the usual suspects and track down the culprit before it's too late. He's hot on the case, but will he recover the crown in time? 

Kids and adults alike will love this laugh-out-loud read-aloud.
