Book Description
An Air of Mystery
Mr. Paris ties balloons outside his toy store every morning. On Fridays, the balloons disappear! What is special about Fridays? And who is taking the balloons?
This sounds like a case for the High-Rise Private Eyes -- Bunny Brown and Jack Jones, ace detectives and very best friends!
Children's Literature
Every Friday morning, the balloons outside Mr. Paris' toy store disappear. It's a perfect case for Bunny Brown and Jack Jones, the High-Rise Private Eyes. Bunny appears to be the smart one, but it's Jack who solves the case when he discovers a young turtle waving the balloons at a football game. It's also Jack who teaches Bunny that TGIF means "Thank Goodness It's Friday," when Bunny thought Friday just meant "Gee I have a ton of homework." Cynthia Rylant is an accomplished writer and even in a very simple, Level 2 "I Can Read" book, she provides endearing characters, humor and suspense, and multiple chapters. The story could even generate classroom or family discussion about whether it's okay to "borrow" someone else's balloons if it's for a good cause. The illustrations are not particularly memorable but they are bright and plentiful. By the end, super sleuth Jack has a new meaning for TGIF which many new readers will want to adopt, "Thank Goodness I'm Fantastic." The book is number 4 in "The High-Rise Private Eyes" series. 2001, Greenwillow, - Karen Leggett
School Library Journal
Gr 1-2-Bunny Brown, a rabbit, is attempting to paint a portrait of Jack Jones, a raccoon, when the owner of the toy store across the street enlists their help. Mr. Paris is troubled by the repeated theft of the balloons that he keeps tied outside his shop. Private eyes Bunny and Jack diligently follow the trail of clues, which leads them to a school football game. There they find the culprit and tie up loose ends so that everyone is happy and no one gets into trouble. This is a fast-moving introduction to the mystery genre. Emerging readers will be interested in how Bunny and Jack find, interpret, and follow up on clues. They will also get a chuckle from the solution. Karas's acrylic, gouache, and pencil illustrations have a simple, angular quality that suits the book's urban setting. Visible pencil strokes show movement, capturing Bunny's and Jack's exuberant personalities and the plot's swift pace. These characters are not as sweet or as endearing as Rylant's Mr. Putter and Tabby, Henry and Mudge, or Poppleton, but the story is driven more by plot than characters and is a good choice for libraries with a big demand for mysteries.-Devon Gallagher, Grace Day School, Massapequa, NY Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
Booklist
Gr. 2-4. This fourth title in the appealing series begins on a quiet Sunday. Private eye Bunny Brown is painting a portrait of her restless raccoon partner Jack Jones when their neighbor Mr. Paris, a hippo, stops by with a case. Someone is stealing the green and yellow balloons from the front of his store. The search for the perpetrator brings Bunny and Jack to a local football game, dressed in outrageous fans' outfits, where they find a clever solution to the case. As in the series' previous titles, the story's main attraction is the funny banter and the gentle, humorous friction sparked by Bunny and Jack's polar personalities. But children new to chapter books will also appreciate the mystery's low-key suspense and clever solution, as well as G. Brian Karas' lively pencil-and-paint illustrations. Gillian Engberg
