: This is a wonderfully illustrated story that is filled with some really funny puns, The humor is the kind I remember sharing at slumber parties, Goofball, giggly stuff. The mystery isn't all that difficult to solve and young readers will enjoy the reward of figuring out the culprit before the end.
The characters make it very easy to over dramatically act out and elaborate on their voices, I really liked the play of the film noir detective stories of the's era,
Critical s:From School Library Journal, "Readers will guess the villain early on but that won't interfere with their enjoyment of the droll story, which is greatly enhanced by delightful illustrations.
