About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Doug Cushman came up with the idea for Space Cat when he was ten years old and dreamed of becoming a children's book illustrator. Now Space Cat joins a growing cast of clever characters that Doug Cushman has created as a grown-up. These include the intrepid anteater detective, Aunt Eater, who stars in four popular books, including Aunt Eater Loves a Mystery; the amazing Seymour Sleuth of The Mystery of King Karfu; and the great grasshopper private eye, Inspector Hopper, in Inspector Hopper's mystery year and Inspector Hopper.
Currently Mr. Cushman divides his time between northern California and Paris, France.
Grade 1-3-In this appealing follow-up to Inspector Hopper (HarperCollins, 2000), the grasshopper sleuth and his sidekick, McBugg, investigate four mysteries, one for each season. In autumn, the private eyes help Emma Worm find out why strange noises are coming from a pumpkin. In "A Winter Mystery," Inspector Hopper visits the doctor because of a bad cold, only to discover that the physician has disappeared. A string of clues and some windy spring weather play a part in the next chapter, as the detectives uncover the whereabouts of Mrs. Beetle's missing child. In the final installment, Holly Cricket's sheet music has been stolen, and the investigators interview various winged suspects, finally determining that a wasp has used it to patch a hole in his nest. Cushman uses vibrant colors in his playful full- and partial-page cartoons, and the artwork extends the gentle humor of the text. Each story is just the right length for sharing aloud or independent reading. Colorful, larger-than-life critters appear on every page. A great choice for beginning readers, and a fun selection for units on insects.
