Book excerpt: Just what kind of monkey business has befallen Mr. Hound's shop? Luckily, our team of plucky detectives has been chomping at the bit to take on their first case. When Mr. Hound hires them to investigate, they hoof it to his shop. And once they get sleuthing, wild horses couldn't drag them away from the scent of a clue. But is it all just a dog and pony show to distract them from the truth? Idioms are everywhere in this hilarious first case of the Gumshoe Zoo detective agency as they attempt to solve Mr. Hound's mystery.

Download or read book Fowl Play written by Steven Leigh Morris and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Fowl Play, author Steven Leigh Morris weaves his two great passions in life: the theater and barnyard poultry. As print media crumbles around him, veteran Los Angeles theater critic Seth Jacobson hatches a flock of chickens and negotiates a fragile pact with his neighbors (and his sanity) to house them in the garden of his Hollywood condominium. In the throes of personal and professional erosion (Seth’s Russian wife has left California for her homeland, apparently never to return), Seth clings to his three hens and one noisy aggressive rooster as if they are family and objects of his unyielding devotion. In this complex fantasy and comedic microcosm of global conflict, all creatures (some with wit, some with wings), seek refuge in an acrimonious and often violent world.
Download or read book Fowl Play written by Sally Coulthard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-13 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From dinosaur to dinner plate, Sally Coulthard tells the fascinating – and sometimes shocking – story of the domestic chicken. The chicken can fly only a few metres but – somehow – this unlikely evolutionary descendant of Tyrannosaurus Rex has conquered the world. Earth is now home to more than twenty billion chickens, at least ten times more than any other bird. For every human on the planet, there are three chickens. In Fowl Play, Sally Coulthard charts the chicken's fascinating journey from dinosaur to domestication to exploitation, exploring every aspect of the history of Gallus gallus domesticus: its importance to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans as food source and fighting bird; its symbolic roles in religion and folklore and metaphorical function in the language we use; its homely place as egg-providing companion on farms, smallholdings and in suburban back gardens; and its darker modern-day fate as battery bird raised to satisfy society's unquenchable addiction to wings and nuggets. Of all animals, chickens perhaps best represent the contradictory way we humans treat other species; both beloved pet and cheap commodity, symbol of a sustainable good life and brutalised object of factory farming. The chicken is also a bird we feel deeply familiar with and yet know very little about. As informative as it is entertaining, Fowl Play tells a remarkable tale of evolutionary change, epic global travel and ruthless exploitation – as well as of companionship, ingenuity and the folly of human nature.

And after a whirlwind start to her new job, she's ready to enjoy the final weeks of summer at The Iowa State Fair. The homegrown good-time is Tressa's favorite time of year—donuts, funnel cakes, cotton candy, turkey legs. It's also her Uncle Frank's busiest. His ice cream stand is in a prime location, and he's poised to scoop the competition. But when a soft-serve saboteur appears at the same time her cousin goes missing, it's another fine, sticky mess she's gotten herself into. With a string of malicious pranks, psycho dunk-tank clowns, two geriatric Jessica Fletcher wannabes, one hot state trooper, and a guy in a chicken suit, it's mayhem on the midway! Throw in one Ranger Rick Townsend, the Don Juan of the Department of Natural Resources and bestower of the hated "Calamity Jayne" moniker, and Tressa's got her hands full! The only question is, can she solve the crime and save the day... or will this blonde be enjoying her final fair?

A word to the wise: if you’re prone to laughing out loud when reading funny books, try not to read Calamity Jayne when you’re sandwiched between two sleeping passengers on an airplane…sometimes we learn these things the hard way." ~ Chick Lit Cafe "Bacus provides lots of small-town fun with this lovable, fair-haired klutz and lively story, liberally salted with dumb-blond jokes." ~ Booklist *starred review*
Download or read book Fowl Play written by Patricia Tichenor Westfall and published by Worldwide Library. This book was released on 1998 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In southern Ohio, in the heart of the Appalachians, folks don't like to talk about themselves much. So when a murder makes the morning news, it comes right behind a report on the school bus and the latest on Slim Coolis' Nubian goats. List-maker par excellence Molly West is listening attentively and wants to know what's up, especially once she learns that the murder involves an acquaintance. But prying information out of her neighbor Sheriff Matins is about as easy as cracking acorns with her teeth, and after fifteen years of residence, Molly is still an "outsider" to most of the locals. Yet Cathy Breyers' murder may just give Molly a chance to get inside their heads. As a director of a county meal-delivery program (and with a little help from her sociologist husband, Ken), she's beginning to understand the roundabout ways in which the locals communicate with one another. Even Louella Chalmers Benton, the county's crabbiest resident - who knows everybody's business and a thing or two about cockfighting - seems to be letting Molly into the clan. And Sheriff Matins, despite his taciturn ways, grumblingly admits that Molly has become an asset and a pretty good detective.
