Review: The 3-2-3 Detective Agency

The 3-2-3 Detective Agency in the Disappearance of Dave Warthog by Fiona Robinson 978-0-8109-8489-9

I'm afraid I don't have much to say. This book has been reviewed and summarized extensive elsewhere--part of why I purchased it. My reaction to this is tepid. It's cute, and I'm sure younger readers will love it. The mystery seems weak to me, however. The art is very colorful, and almost too busy (but I could still follow the action). It's a nice hardcover binding (I'm a sucker for hardcover--they tend to hold up in the library better). I'll just have to see how the circulation holds up after a year or two on the shelf.
