A delightful mystery story about a group of animals who meet on the 3:23 train to Whiska City where they decide to open up a detective agency together. Upon placing an advertisement in the paper they receive several clients reporting missing persons and finally the mayor shows up to report the entire police force missing. The new detectives are on the case and find all disappearances lead to one place! The characters are delightful from Slingshot the overactive Sloth to Roger the dung beetle wit...more
A fun adventure involving a variety of different animals that are different from other animals like themselves. They all have a talent that can be used to help solve these disappearance cases. Definitely has some great values for kids in there and is safe enough for all ages to read this one.
the colorful illustrations will catch readers' eyes, but the story was so dumb and the writing so stilted, I couldn't even finish it. should be fine, though, for young readers who want graphic fiction and aren't picky.
Recommended to me by a fourth grader as "the best graphic novel I have ever read," I just had to take it home. Loved it--good mystery, great characters, and what a menu--all cooked by a dung beetle--True!
Bookaday #46. First thought this book was going to be dumb, but then the funny jokes started, and the animal friends solved the mystery! Think the kids will enjoy, going to order it.
My parents told me " If you can't say something nice about somebody, don't say anything at all. " I'm not.
Fun little graphic novel that I think even very young readers will like.
