This book can be used to teach students not to jump to conclusions about other people. Just because something looks a certain way does not mean that is really how it happened. This could also be used as an introduction into different branches of government for older students if they are willing to sit through a "kid's book".
Cardigan Moose is new to town. He stops by Mrs. Brown's house to smell her freshly baked apple pie. Minutes later the pie is gone! Cardigan is taken to court to determine his guilt or innocence.
Simple look at the court system, as well as a mystery for young readers. A rare find.

Not as great as the Dodsworth books or Dr. Vermin but still a quirky, interesting picture book with Egan's great art. The story here is simpler but still multi-layered with appeal for both kids and adults.
JP Cardigan, the new moose in town, is put on trial for stealing a pie from a windowsill. Thought provoking but also very cute. For younger elem.

Good book to help children understand the basics of our court system.
Great "don't jump to conclusions" and "you will be vindicated" story.
