Perhaps the perp is someone completely unexpected, like a top student who has never been in trouble before? Someone started it and someone is going to detention. All this in the middle of a contentious contest for the election of class president. The suspects are endless but, in the end, the case will be cracked, and the election won. Food Fight is a fun-filled middle grade novel by the author of The Bedmas Conspiracy and Triple Chocolate Brownie Genius.

New from the author of the popular and funny How to Speak Moo!, this amusing tale asks preschoolers if they�ve ever wondered what sheep are telling each other when they say: �Baa!� Baa for Beginners hopes to answer that question, and the answers are silly enough to keep kids giggling from first page to last. They�ll learn the near baa and the far baa, the shivery and the wobbly baa. They�ll discover how their baa sounds when it�s dark at night�and how it sounds when the sun is bright. Author Deborah Fajerman�s comical color illustrations appear on every page of this hilarious book.

The language of sheep is Baa and every single word is baa...There are many different ways to baa, but when they are lambs, sheep only know one kind, which is why the field trip Mrs Ramsbottom takes them on is so important. Mrs Ramsbottom takes her class out into the country to learn the finer points of baa in situ. And soon they're good enough to take their Baa exams, for which they all gain a gold star!
