In this procedural mystery for the primary set, the Case of the Missing Bananas has the police stumped, so they call in private investigator Detective Small. Readers will be tickled by the rhyming text that details Small's search for evidence and, after a false start, apprehending of the criminal. Uncluttered watercolor illustrations alert observant readers to crucial details Small initially misses.
