Great story about solving a mystery as a private detective. We've started reading some Encyclopedia Brown mysteries, but this one is a much easier story for our girls to understand now. The books are short and there's lot of illustrations, so it's more at their level.
Humorous, fun-loving book that has all the elements of a mystery (clues, plot, red herrings). It's a simple book that can serve as a great touchstone text for a mystery unit.
Talmage LOVES this book and these characters. These stories seem to be the perfect reading/interest level for a 7 year old boy.
The characters in Bonsall's series remind me of the gang on "Fat Albert." His story lines are predictable and cheesy but a good choice for first time readers who like a little mystery.

Although Bonsall studied at New York University School of Architecture and the American School of Design, she is most known for her children's books.
Her career as a children's author started as a doodle on her drawing board. Later, a doll manufacturer purchased the rights to her orange-haired, freckle-faced rag doll who later became a character in her first book, The Surprise Party.
