Sherlock Ferret and the Missing Necklace - 2nd Edition by Hugh Ashton (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Miss Leticia Rabbit leaves her gold necklace on the grass outside her house one evening. When she gets up in the
morning, it is gone!
To help her get it back, she asks Sherlock Ferret, who lives with his well-whiskered friend Watson Mouse M.D. (a
Doctor of Mousology) in rooms under Mrs. Hudson's baker's shop.
Sherlock and Watson, and their friend Lestrade, who is a rhinoceros (even though he is not a very big one) set out to
find the necklace for her, meeting several interesting and nefarious characters, such as Moriarty Magpie, and the frightening Colonel Sebastian Moorhen as they do so.

Review Quotes

"I really liked this book and I think it would make a great story for the Accelerated Reader program. It is nice because it is a book that kids my age can enjoy, but it also has beautiful pictures. Usually, the books I read for fourth grade do not have pictures. I liked the characters very much and I also like that there are new words to learn, and the author lets you know what they mean."

"My aunt gave me this book to read because I like animals. There are lots of animals in this book. All the people in the book are animals like ferrets and birds and rabbits and a rhinoceros. It is a mystery about a necklace that gets stolen and Sherlock the Ferret and his mouse friend Watson find it. They live under a bakery and drink tea and eat crumbs and have lots of big books. And the rhinoceros is small because they say it over and over. I really liked the pictures especially the one of the ferret growling. And they all wear hats. 10 stars (out of 5)."

"In Sherlock Ferret And The Missing Necklace, a silly rabbit loses her necklace. Watson the mouse and his detective friend, Sherlock Ferret, go on adventures to look for her necklace. The ending was shocking to me. I loved it. I can't wait for the next one!!"
