The Bear Detectives

We start of this story by hearing that Farmer Ben's first prize pumpkin can't be found anywhere. "Do not worry Farmer Ben. The BEAR DETECTIVES will find it again!" But before they can get to work finding the pumpkin, Father Bear (and his old dog Snuff) appear wanting to help. Father Bear and Snuff then rush off along the road with very little clue of where they are goingFather Bear and Snuff lead the Bear Detectives all over. Before turning the case over to the Bear Detectives, they manage to check out a "cow, brown and white. Checked out a scarecrow after a fight." "Checked out a haystack. Three pigs in a pen...put the [hand] cuffs on Farmer Ben's hen." Of course, as soon as Father Bear turns over the case, the Bear Detectives manage to find the thief, who really wasn't a thief, right away. As it turns out, Mrs. Ben had 'stolen' the pumpkin to make pumpkin pies, and everyone (including the chicken handcuffed to Father Bear) got a pie to eat.This book flows nicely, and is told in rhyme. The pictures add a lot to the book. They exaggerate on the misfortunes of poor Father Bear as he searches for the pie. They also are bright, colorful and funny. The story is very cute.Loggie-log-log-log

The Bear Detectives

In this book, the bears are looking for Farmer Ben's missing pumpkin. Papa Bear is also coming along to help, but he becomes more of a hazard. They look all over, following the clues they pick up, and the ones their dog Snuff does. And they finally find out who it is, it was Farmer Ben's wife. She made the pumpkin into pie. As they are looking for these clues, they are having fun. I liked this book as a child because it was a mystery, and I had to try to figure out who too the pumpkin.
