Adorable New Mystery for Young Readers

Jack (a raccoon), and Bunny (a rabbit) are private detectives, so they couldn't be happier when a bike-messenger bear asks for their help in finding his lost whistle. As the two private eyes search for clues, Bunny tries to get his partner, Jack, to concentrate on the task at hand: finding bear's whistle. But as time goes by, it is Jack's wacky ideas that lead the two P.I.'s to solve the case. In this wonderful new book from THE HIGH-RISE PRIVATE EYES book series, Cynthia Rylant sets up a wonderful foundation for new readers to delve into a great mystery. Bunny is a cute character who is serious, and very focused, but it's Jack who will win the hearts of readers, for his zany ideas are hilarious, and will have even parents laughing out loud. While the illustrations contained on almost every page are wonderful, and will keep even the pickiest readers reading. A must-have.
