The Case of the Missing Monkey (High-Rise Private Eyes)
PreSchool-Grade 3-There's a mystery at The Grill Next Door-a missing glass monkey and a restaurant full of suspects. Just the sort of case for high-rise private eyes Bunny Brown and Jack Jones. While Jack uses his ability to sniff out what's on the menu, Bunny is on the way to solving the mystery using her keen observation skills. The glass monkey is returned, and the grateful owner rewards the crime solving duo with a sweet treat. Cynthia Rylant provides a light-hearted mystery for beginning readers with plenty of rib-tickling drama to make them smile. Narrator William Dufris provides the melodic voice of Bunny Brown and the street wise, fast-talking voice of Jack Jones. The audience is drawn into the story because of Dufris's wonderful interpretation of the characters and appropriate sound effects. One side of the tape has page-turn signals (the sound of a page turning) so that beginning readers can follow along, the other side is straight narration. This read-along set can be used by individual students as part of a reading center or as a tool for reluctant readers. A good choice for school and public libraries as well as classrooms.Mercedes Smith, Kernan Trail Elementary School.Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
