(4) K-3 In this send-up of the hard-boiled detective genre, elephant Nick Trunk investigates the case of six lucky marbles that were stolen from Lola, a lounge singer who's depicted as a fox. The so-so mystery plot is accompanied by black-and-white illustrations in a film-noir style. Picture book readers are too young to understand what's being parodied.
