Hornswaggled! A Whacky Words Whodunit by Josh Crute and Jenn Harney - ESSENTIAL

Hornswaggled! A Whacky Words Whodunit by Josh Crute, illustrated by Jenn Harney
. PICTURE BOOK. Page Street Kids, 2021. $18. 9781645672845 

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

The local animals are up in arms – someone has stolen their precious things! They have been hornswoggled! 

Extremely amusing, with one flaw. While each of the “trickster” words is defined by an adorable armadillo, there are several other high-priced words (egregious, for example) which are not defined. The illustrations are so dang adorable that I won’t mind defining more words to listeners.
