How do you catch a robber when time is running backward? You race back(ward!) to the scene of the crime shouting POTS, REBBOR! The best-selling author of the award-winning picture book, Henry Hikes To Fitchburg, brings hilarious misadventure to this detective tale for kids of all ages. Detective Chief Inspector Reynard Verseau has lost his detective cap. He was wearing it when he left the station, but now, the cap is missing! Has it been stolen? When the robber finally appears at his door with the missing cap, Verseau launches himself backwards in hot pursuit! D.B. Johnson brings his charming detective to life in this delightful romp through 1920s Paris.
Customer Reviews
Imaginative and the kids love it
They didn’t quite know what to make of it at first and I worries the animations would be a distracting gimmick—not so. It’s one of those books they ask read immediately again once we reach the last page. Humorous, imaginative, delightful.
ingenious
This picture book is great so many ways: first, for the clever animations, which bring the gorgeous illustrations to life, and second for the story itself, which is playful and fun in getting everything turned all around. There's a wonderful atmosphere of surrealist-era Paris in these pages, too. Wonderful ... or should I say 'lufrednoW'?)
