Gr 1–3—Rider Woofson, dog detective extraordinaire, and the rest of the P.I. Pack have a new case: rock star David Bow-Wowie's priceless instruments have been stolen—he claims by a ghost! To solve the case, the dogs investigate, collect evidence, and interview suspects. Featuring many different breeds of dogs and other animal characters, this mystery series is great for young dog lovers. The pun-filled plot and supernatural suspects (which turn out to be red herrings) will appeal to fans of "Scooby Doo." Black-and-white illustrations on nearly every page break up the text and add to the cartoony feel of the book.
In this new detective series, Rider Woofson and his pals in the Pup Investigators Pack are on the tails of some of Pawston's most dangerous criminals: an art thief, an imposter New Sealand prince, and the crooks who nab David Bow-Wowie's instruments. Chock-full of animal gags ("meow-nificent"), cartoony illustrations, and cliffhanger chapters, this is a good starter-mystery set. Review covers the following Rider Woofson titles: The Case of the Missing Tiger's Eye, Something Smells Funny, and Undercover in the Bow-Wow Club.
