Cute, clever - but I think the Nate the Great (another Easy Reader mystery) series is better.
Illustrations: acrylic, gouache, and pencil. This book is about animals solving a mystery. The fluffy dice of Melvin the bus driver turn up missing and Bunny and Jack, two animal detectives, investigate the case. This book is a fantasy, early child chapter book. It is fantasy because animals are talking throughout the book. Age appropriateness: intermediate.

-An okay mystery where Bunny and Jack try to track down who took the lucky fuzzy dice of a bus driver. The illustrations aren't specific or clear in depicting what is going on in this story, which may make it harder for beginning readers. The first chapter, where Bunny does yoga and then is stressed out when Jack relates a cartoon story line to her, seems superfluous to the story.
- Recommended ages 4-8
- No RC
