A wonderful choice for independent reading —Starred review, Booklist
Someone’s stealing nuts from the forest, and it’s up to Detective Gordon to catch the thief! Unfortunately, solving this crime means standing in the snow and waiting for a long time… If only he had an assistant—someone small, fast, and clever—to help solve this terrible case. Then Detective Gordon would be able to go back to doing what he’s best at: thinking, eating cakes, drinking tea, and stamping important papers.
Review
Detective Gordon (a toad) is the chief of police in the forest; young, excitable Buffy (a mouse) is his brand-new sidekick. Using their complementary skills, the two track down some nut thieves and mete out an eminently just punishment. This odd couple’s first mission is full of warm humor and wisdom – both handled with a feather-light touch. —Best Books of 2015, Horn Books (US)
🇨🇱 Descripción:
Una brillante historia policial de Ulf Nilsson, uno de los grandes escritores para niños de Suecia. Maravillosamente ilustrado a color por Gitte Spee. Un libro para lectura independiente o para leerle a los más principiantes en voz alta.
Alguien se está robando las nueces del bosque, y atrapar al culpable está en manos del Detective Gordon. Desafortunadamente, resolver éste crimen implica pasar muchas horas esperando sobre la nieve... si solo tuviera un asistente –alguien pequeño, rápido y astuto– para que lo ayudara a resolver este caso. Entonces, el detective Gordon podría volver a lo que más disfruta: pensar, comer tortas, tomar té y estampar papeles importantes.
