From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-- The quintessential boy detective only solves one case in this collection. The rest of the book consists of humorous true anecdotes about crime, law enforcement, and detective work. Black-and-white cartoons add to the fun. Resembling a marriage between Dragnet and America's Funniest Home Videos , it's by no means a first purchase, but it will appeal to browsers and reluctant readers. --Elaine E. Knight, Lincoln Elem .
