title: Flatfoot Fox and the Case of the Bashful Beaver
author:  Eth Clifford 
description: Grade 1-3-This six-chapter, easy-to-read mystery full of tongue twisters will delight young readers. Bashful Beaver's "big black bag of beautiful bright blue buttons" has been stolen. Detective Flatfoot Fox starts to investigate, only to be interrupted by Secretary Bird, who wants to solve the case alone. He tracks down the clues, only to find that each suspect has also experienced a theft. Flatfoot Fox leads everyone to Rat-a-Tat Rat (the culprit) who has been "trading this for that." The amusing pen-and-ink drawings of the animated animals add to the humorous ambiance of the story.<br /><i>Janet M. Bair, Trumbull Library, CT</i><br />Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
