From Booklist
King opens this madcap detective chapter book by admitting that “Sensible Hare was not a sensible hare.” He then runs his daft hero through all manner of silliness as Sensible sets to work solving the mystery of a missing suitcase full of carrots. Sensible runs afoul of a menacing landlord who totes around three mini–menacing landlords in his pocket, a gaggle of dopey and dastardly villains, and a squad of buffoonish, tea-drinking constables. He’s helped along by his pal Ottoman Otter, who, for no reason at all, has a thimble, and “had named the thimble Thimble, after his grandma, Thimble Otter, who had been named after a thimble.” That should clue you in to the sensibility at work here, which shoots for wacko humor in lieu of sense at every juncture. While some might get tripped up in all the zany zigzags, fans of Bruce Hale’s Chet Gecko mysteries who don’t mind some heavy absurdity will find it a hoot. Roberts’ line illustrations, a sort of cartoonish take on Edward Gorey’s Mystery! work, help set the oddball scene. Grades 2-4. --Ian Chipman
