Synopses & Reviews
In the heart of the big city live two ace detectives. Cracking cases wide open is their game; Bunny and Jack are their names. No trail is too cold for these gritty gumshoes, because they re addicted to good mysteries (solving them, that is). In Case #001, The Case of the Missing Monkey, a glittery glass monkey is suddenly swiped from the counter at Bunny and Jack s favorite diner. Who would steal a glass monkey, and why? Of course! Bunny and Jack can smell both the pancakes on the griddle and th answer, but they can t crow about their discovery until they catch their sticky-fingered friend in the act of returning the stolen goods! In Case #002, The Case of the Climbing Cat, Miss Nancy s prized binoculars have been stolen from her thirtieth-story balcony, no less! Who could have taken them right out from under Miss Nancy s nose at that height? Aha! It doesn t take nine lives, but it does take a dropped ticket stub from the Aviary to reveal the solution. Beginning readers and fledgling detectives alike will love these silly, fast-talking mysteries brought to life by another unsurpassed duo: Cynthia Rylant and G. Brian Karas.
