Ever wondered what it would be like if Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot was a squirrel?
Here I have created a parody of Murder on the Orient Express for children. Changing murder for a spread of stollen cakes.
It is Agatha the Owl's birthday and she has invited her friends to a sleepover on the Woodland Express. Making a spread for a surprise party, the other animals are shocked when the cakes mysteriously disappear overnight. But don't worry, Detective Squirrel is on the job.
Update (2023): I have since created this image by combining digital drawing with photomontage and plan to revisit this project so watch this space!
