Just what kind of monkey business has befallen Mr. Hound's shop? Luckily, our team of plucky detectives has been chomping at the bit to take on their first case. When Mr. Hound hires them to investigate, they hoof it to his shop. And once they get sleuthing, wild horses couldn't drag them away from the scent of a clue. But is it all just a dog and pony show to distract them from the truth? Idioms are everywhere in this hilarious first case of the Gumshoe Zoo detective agency. This introduction to graphic novels will delight early readers with a zany wordplay whodunnit as the detectives manage to keep a straight face, collar some suspects, and solve a mystery, all while avoiding beating a dead-never mind.
