Jibberjack, Fibberjack - A Made-Up Monster Mystery

Kirkus, Starred Review: "A playful and timely tale that teaches kids how to spot fearmongering and follow evidence." Jibberjack, Fibberjack is a clever whodunit about thinking for yourself and asking better questions. When a mysterious creature starts scaring the chatty town of Rumorridge, only Frida asks more questions. With her detective hat, trusty notebook, and a nose for nonsense, she's sure to crack the town's monster mystery. Things quickly get serious when strange footprints appear and the town's prized pigs go missing. Questionable monster traps and the mayor's new rules only add to everyone's nervousness. But when smelly clues mix with stinky lies, Frida begins putting the pieces together and builds a clever trap of her own. A gentle introduction to the concept of fear-mongering for kids ages 4-8 who love asking MANY questions.
