An exciting, humorous, and rhyming detective chase set at Easter, perfect for children ages 3-7.

When a mysterious someone steals the Easter baskets that Detective Cluehound and Sergeant Squirrel are decorating, the two sleuths are on the case! Will they be able to track down the thief?

It's Easter, and Dog Detective Cluehound and Sergeant Squirrel are decorating their Easter baskets when a very speedy someone grabs the baskets and quickly takes off. STOP THAT . . . BUNNY!

And so begins a chase to catch the thief. Wherever they look, Bunny is one step ahead of the hapless Detective, until--BOING!--the crafty Bunny bounces up, up, and away.

But when Cluehound returns to the Easter parade, there's a surprise waiting....

Readers of Tiger Tales’ Stop That! series join Dog Detective Cluehound and Sergeant Squirrel on a rhyming, engaging chase to catch a thief whose identity, while hinted at through the clever artwork, is known to the reader but not the detective!

Detective Cluehound and his sidekick Sergeant Squirrel are very excited for Easter. They've made an Easter basket to enter in the town parade and contest, and hope to win. Sadly, a bunny hopping by grabs the basket and takes off with it. Mounting their tandem bicycle, the two detectives take off after the perpetrator, chasing through the Easter egg hunt, a flower shop, and nearby farms and parks. After suspecting some ducks, Cluehound searches a carrot patch and almost corners the bunny in a bunch castle, but the dastardly hare gets away. Returning sadly to his office, Cluehound finds out what has happened and who has taken his basket, and is finally able to celebrate the holiday.

Good Points

Detective Cluehound has already been involved in Christmas and Halloween capers, and this book follows the same sort of format. There's not much of a mystery, but young readers will enjoy the chase and the frolicking across the holiday landscape. There's even a little bit of Easter candy for Cluehound to enjoy, and plenty of brightly colored Easter eggs, chocolate rabbits, and marshmallow chicks decorating the pages.

This would be great for a read aloud, since there's just the right amount of text for short attention spans, and the pages turn quickly. The font varies in size, and there's a nice sense of urgency to the narrative.

This reminded me a little of the slap dash humor of Quackenbush's Sherlock Chick series or Martin and Roy's The Agatha Case Files: Welcome to Kittyville!. There's always room for another animal detective book or a good Easter romp. Pop this into an Easter Basket, but make sure it's decorated as well as Detective Cluehound's!

Detective Cluehound and Sergeant Squirrel are looking forward to Easter. Detective Cluehound has created a lovely Easter basket, but it is then snatched by the Easter Bunny! Will he get it back?
What I Liked: The illustrations are great and I think that kids would love the mad dash across town that Detective Cluehound and Sergeant Squirrel have to make to get the basket back.
What Left Me Wanting More: It is definitely a quick read, but some kids do have shorter attention spans and it would be a good book to help younger kids learn to read.
Final verdict: a charming book with some great images that will have children giggling. I would recommend it.
