Platypus Police Squad: Last Panda Standing

237 pp. | HarperCollins/Walden Pond | May, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-207168-2 $12.99
(4) 4-6 The Platypus Police Squad is on the case again in this third mystery set in animal-inhabited Kalamazoo City. When a mayoral candidate, Frank Pandini, is attacked by a boomerang, hardboiled platypus detective Rick Zengo is hired as the panda's bodyguard. Most of the fun lies in the old-fashioned crime-fighting tropes and silly gags. Black-and-white cartoons add to the charm.
