The Big Nap: From the Tattered Casebook of Chet Gecko, Private Eye

110 pp. | Harcourt | October, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-15-202521-9 $$14.00
(3) 1-3 Chet Gecko Mystery series. When his classmates start acting like obedient drones, private eye Chet Gecko decides to investigate the matter before he, too, ends up "dancing the zombie mambo." As in earlier books in the series, Big Nap is loaded with film-noirish dialogue and clever puns that provide plenty of humor for older readers, but the younger crowd may not catch all the jokes. Hale's black-and-white illustrations show off his wacky cast of characters.
