Review:
A Venus flytrap is a pretty
scary looking plant. Inspector Flytrap is not scary at all. As a matter of
fact, he is an investigator who only solves big deal mysteries. He gets around
in his flower pot on a skateboard with the help of his friend Nina the goat.
Some of his mysteries involve solving yellow blobs on expensive art that turned
out to be the artist’s boogers. Another case was solving the mystery of stinky
cookies and stinky feet. When it’s all said and done Inspector Flytrap always
managed to come out smelling like a rose.
This early chapter book is
more for an advanced beginner reader. Longer chapters with snappy dialogue are
fun and engaging. Hilarious illustrations in green and black can be found throughout
the pages to give readers insight into the mysteries. Clues can also be found
so readers can help solve the puzzles. This is a great book for boys but girls
will love it too.
