A graphic novel for children on fractured nursery rhymes. Little boy blue has left the farm and is on the case. It started as normal day, but Miss Muffett was missing. Detective blue runs into many nursery rhyme characters on his search for Miss Muffett. I enjoyed the illustrations and the inside jokes on the nursery rhymes. This wasn't my favorite fractured fairytale, but it was cute and one I would recommend to children interested in Nursery rhymes and mystery. Metzger, S., & Arnold, T. (2011). Detective Blue.
