my favorite book

Its my favorite book because it has animals. Also it is a special book to read, because the boy is a detective and because he is a good boy and character. ----LM

Mysterious !!

When I turned to the very first page of the book,I said to myself,"This book is going to be very interesting".And it turned out to be.When I got to the middle of the book,I was in a rush to find out who was the owner of the duck.At first I thought that it was the sad-eyed boy and turned out to be true.I feel like a detective.I also felt anxious when the Inspector came to the apartment to check if there is anything wrong.Whoever reared a pet in the apartment will be kicked out of it.Luckily the Inspector didn't find out that the duck was living with them.Thanks to their lucky stars,the duck was a quiet one.This book is one of my favourite detective books.

Another favorite!

I had this book about 25 years ago. It was one of my favorite stories to read during long drives when my family would go to Canada for vacation. I highly recommend this book! Lots of great memories!
