Who Made Me Jump?: With Hugo the Hummingbird

. Barron's Educational Series, $5.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-7641-5660-1

Kids are invited to help solve a mystery with a different creature in each of three Animal Detectives series titles by Jacqui Brown. In Who Sat on Me?, Polly the Porcupine sees only the ""huge, gray bottom"" of the retreating animal that sat on her. Kids can help guess whose bottom it is, as Polly meets Zara the zebra (whose bottom is ""too stripy""), and Gustav the giraffe (""wrong color"") and finally Ellie the elephant, who promises to be more careful next time. Hugo the Hummingbird is startled in Who Made Me Jump?; children can help him hunt down the owner of two red eyes, to answer the titular question. And in Whose Footprint Is That? Beatrice the Beaver identifies various types of footprints until she finds the large footprints of Ben the bear, who took one of the branches for her dam (he wanted a fishing pole).
