Review Quotes

"A goofball farce... this episodic volume offers two other cases for the crime-busting birdies, and young readers will make quick work of them all. Totally coo!" --Kirkus Reviews

"Manic energy and flapstick comedy (get it?) ricochet through the chapters.... Dog Man and Inspector Flytrap fans are ideal readers for this perfectly absurd new series." --Booklist
