The Case of the Baffled Bear

The Case of the Baffled Bear. (The High Rise Private Eyes #7) Cynthia Rylant. G. Brian Karas. 2004. 48 pages. [Source: Library]

First sentence: Every Tuesday night Bunny and Jack liked to play Slap Jack. They played for pretzels. It was Jack's idea to play for pretzels. It was Bunny's idea to play Slap Jack. She thought the name was funny. Jack did not.

Premise/plot: Bernard is a bear who delivers messages speedy-quick on his bike. Unfortunately--or fortunately depending on your perspective--his whistle is missing. He's come to Jack and Bunny for help. Can they find his whistle so he can go back to delivering messages?

My thoughts: Jack and Bunny have a new case.  I liked this one. I like the series in general. If you're looking for an early chapter book mystery series, the High Rise Private Eyes series would be a good choice. Cynthia Rylant is an excellent writer!
