Reviews
The New York Times , August 23, 2012: "That's the way the nursery rhyme crumbles in these humorous retellings, cast in the world of hard-boiled crime and private detectives." The Huffington Post , August 6, 2012: "The first children's book from the wildly creative Levinthal and I hope it won't be the last.", The New York Times , August 23, 2012: "That's the way the nursery rhyme crumbles in these humorous retellings, cast in the world of hard-boiled crime and private detectives." The Huffington Post , August 6, 2012: "The first children's book from the wildly creative Levinthal and I hope it won't be the last." Booklist , September 15, 2012: "Kids will certainly be familiar with all these stories, and Levinthal supplies just enough of a twist with each one to make them fresh again without necessarily reinventing any of them. What'll really stop kids in their tracks, though, is Nickle's acrylic artwork. His sophisticated touch is as equally suited to the dramatic, black-andwhite re-creations of the crimes as it is to the cheeky scenes of Binky gumshoeing about with various woodland creatures." School Library Journal , September 2012: "The tongue-in-cheek telling of tales will tickle the fancies of children familiar with the originals."

Synopsis
Break-in at the Three Bears family home? It could only be one dame. Wicked witch gone missing from her candied cottage? Hansel and Gretel claim it was self-defense. Did Humpty Dumpty really just fall off that wall, or was he pushed? Here are five fairy-tale stories with a twist, all told from the point of view of a streetwise police officer called Binky, who just happens to be a toad in a suit and a fedora. When Snow White doesn't make it to the beauty pageant, Officer Binky is the first to find the apple core lying by her bed. When an awful giant mysteriously crashes to the ground, upsetting the whole town, Binky discovers exactly who is responsible. Author David Levinthal and illustrator John Nickle retell these classic stories in the style of a 1940s noir detective novel-for kids!, Break-in at the Three Bears family home?
