Review: P.I. PENGUIN AND THE CASE OF THE MISSING BOTTLE by Bec J. Smith

This is a lovable children’s story full of fun rhymes. I felt like I was reading a Dr. Seuss version with sea creatures. P.I. Penguin is a regular Dick Tracy.
Illustrations were cute, vibrant and colorful. The artist obviously made good use of color splash in these eye-catching scenes of the sea. I also liked the directive of the compositions. For example, page 25 shows the penguin and dolphin each staring at a clue from opposing sides, allowing their forms to guide the reader through the dialogue.
 
My rating: 4 stars
