Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4-- When Nosy Otter is kidnapped, his mother turns to Flatfoot Fox, `` . . . the smartest detective in the whole world . . . ,'' to find him. As in Flatfoot Fox and the Case of the Missing Eye (Dutton, 1990), Clifford and Lies team up to bring the sleuthing skills of the dogged detective and his staunch (though not always astute) assistant, Secretary Bird, to delighted readers. Talking to a quirky collection of highly suspect suspects, gathering clues, following footprints, and enlisting the services of an air scout, Fox is lead to Motherly Mouse's house where he eventually finds the errant otter. The text, with its good humor and dry wit, is perfect for young mystery buffs searching for an easy chapter book. The black-and-white pen-and-ink illustrations--energetic, expressive, and full of droll detail--are sprinkled generously throughout. And for fans of Fox, the ending promises yet another case for the intrepid gumshoe. --Marge Loch-Wouters, Menasha Public Library, WI

This review is from: Flatfoot Fox and the Case of the Nosy Otter (Flatfoot Fox Series) (Hardcover)
I just finished this great book called FlatFoot Fox and the Case of the Nosy Otter. If you have not read this book than you'll love it. It was interesting and funny because Lame Brain Swan did not make any sense when FlatFoot Fox and Secreatary Bird came to ask him Questions.I would rate this a five star book.I would recommend this to kids seven and older who love mystery books.

This review is from: Flatfoot Fox and the Case of the Nosy Otter (Flatfoot Fox Series) (Hardcover)
This was a very fun, exciting and mysterious story. The book makes you pay attention to detail to help solve the mystery. It's funny at times, and at the end there is another mystery.
