Catz is determined to be a successful detective. He gathers all the equipment of his trade and sets off on his first case. But try as he might, it's not as easy as he thinks, and he makes no progress. Catz thinks he has failed, but he has also failed to notice all the good he is doing along the way! Cheered on by his friends, and with new evidence and new determination, he finally fulfills his dream.

Humorous drawings convey Catz's changing emotions and provide scope for visual literacy, as the reader solves sub plots along the way.

Catz want to be a detective, so he gathers his gear and heads out to help his friends. It might be a tough first case, but the observant Catz finds lots of other treasures along the way!

This is a super charming detective story. Catz' mission is very relatable - what kid doesn't want to play "real" detective? - and the crayon art style also adds to the sense that this is a story kids can easily relate to. Since this is a mystery, there's lots of clues hidden in the illustrations, and the simple narrative and large font size make for an easy and engaging read.

Recommend for lovers of animals, detectives, and low stakes mystery.
