Book Overview:
The Butterfly Ball is tomorrow, and everyone has a job to do — even Harold. He's making the Spirit of Tuptown prize! But when the prize statue goes missing, a confident Pigsticks volunteers to solve the case. With more and more things disappearing and everyone in Tuptown a suspect, will Detective Pigsticks track down the mysterious thief?
My Review:
I'd never heard of Pigsticks and Harold until recently. The duo is featured in a handful of Pigsticks and Harold series books, intended for young readers.
Pigsticks and Harold and the Tuptown Thief is centered around the annual Butterfly Ball where everyone has been assigned a job. It is Harold the hamster's job to build a statue for the Spirit of Tuptown prize. Once the statue has been finished, Harold comes outside and notices it missing. Distraught, Harold enlists the help of Pigsticks, a pig known for his crime solving skills. Pigsticks asks Harold to be his assistant in solving the mystery. While they are working on that, two more crimes happen and the pair's plate is full as they try to solve who's doing all this. Everyone is afraid the ball will be cancelled. But, right before that happens, the culprit is caught. Apologies are given and the ball goes back into full swing.
Mysteries aren't necessarily my thing but I got a kick out of this kid's book. The illustrations and visual cues made me chuckle. Although I don't necessarily agree with the reason the thief gave for stealing, I still liked this book and like that the residents of Tuptown showed compassion once they found out who the culprit was.
Win It!
