1-3Ready-for-Chapters series.
Illustrated by
Mordicai Gerstein.
When the class rabbit disappears, Fletcher--a basset hound brought for show-and-tell--gets blamed. It's up to him and his flea sidekick, Jasper, to solve the mystery. Though the plot gets off to a slow start and the secondary characters are somewhat indistinct, this simple story succeeds when Fletcher shares his observations on human/animal relationships. Scratchy black-and-white drawings illustrate the text.
