    Thumbs Up from a Reluctant Reader
  

*by I***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2020*

Completely out of options for 30 minute read aloud sessions during home schooling for my 3rd grade granddaughter, I fished this book out of my planned birthday gifts for her and off we went. She loved this book, wants more from this series (major call-out to the clever author and illustrator), and read aloud much more than her 30 min/day to learn the cliff hanger outcome. The noir mystery tone and hilarious commentary from the main character and the cleverly nicknamed hen and chicks kept her in hysterics. This is a funny, clever, and (at least to elementary age children) suspenseful book I highly recommend. A good listen for grandparents too.

    A nifty little mystery great for reading out loud
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2011*

Children's noir might sound crazy but this book from Doreen Cronin and Kevin Cornell is a nifty little mystery great for reading out loud.To set the mood, I listened to Robert Mitchum's Philip Marlowe from Farewell My Lovely and adapted his gravelly delivery for the voice of J.J. Tully, the retired search and rescue dog. J.J. not only is the story's protagonist but also the laconic narrator through all but two of the 23 chapters.So, who narrates the other two chapters? Well, that would be Vince the Funnel, the villainous inside dog, described as "a cross between a dachshund and a lamp." For Vince, I initially considered a Peter Lorre impersonation but settled on Orson Welles' Harry Lime from The Third Man.With the narrative voices locked down, I added one more trick to keep my sons (ages 8 and 6) engaged in the story. We began each chapter with our own film noir soundtrack: da-dum-dum-ta-da-da-dum-dum with a cool finger snap for a beat with a single hi-hat.We read the book over three nights as the boys' bedtime reading. My sons focused mostly on Cornell's illustrations during the first night. My eldest son rolled his eyes as I led the film noir soundtrack into each new chapter. The noir style drew them in slowly. However, the night ended with a highlight, a silhouette of Vince the Funnel at the end of chapter eight.I had to hide the book for the second night, so my sons wouldn't read ahead before I got home from work. The eye rolling stopped. I had two enthusiastic finger snappers at the start of each chapter. They were critics, too. I mixed up a couple names only to be corrected by my six-year old, who flipped back to the book cover and named each chick.My boys woke up and searched the house for the book. They returned from school and searched again. By the time I returned home from work, they met me at the door. Fingers snapping, the third and last night was electric. The boys, sensing a double cross and a cliffhanger for J.J., pushed me through the last six chapters.I won't spoil the ending but, true to form, this whodunit ends with a (family-friendly) twist.Rating: Five stars.BTW: Parents looking for a noir treat of their own would enjoy The Best American Noir of the Century, a 39-story anthology I gave a five-star rating on Amazon in December 2010.

    Fun read
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2014*

This is a very cute book. I didn't read it to my kids as they are a bit young yet, but I've bought it for kids who are older. A friend recommended it because she and her 7 year old loved it and it cracked them up.
