(1) 1-3 Translated by Julia Marshall. Illustrated by Gitte Spee. Detective Gordon (a toad) and his new assistant, Policewoman Buffy (a mouse), are as different as chalk and cheese: he's elderly, cerebral, and weapons-averse; she's young, agile, and eager to get her hands on the station's locked-away pistol. Here they track down nut thieves--teenage squirrels with attitude--and mete out a creative punishment. Sly, personality-rich, wintry-hued illustrations perfectly match a funny, gently satirical text.
