Thank you so much to Little Leaflet Press and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.
What an incredibly fun mystery for younger readers, I absolutely loved delving into this mystery and seeing who stole the pearl necklace, seeing who gets the blame and who actually did it.
The illustrations were amazing, I loved seeing all the different animals that were in attendance at the party, they were so creatively made along with their perfect names. I loved looking at each of them in the pages seeing what each of them was getting up too.
The mystery itself was really clever and fun, readers are going to really enjoy trying to guess who did it and why, the characters will make them suspicious and also make them laugh. If you and your children enjoy a fun mystery I highly recommend this, it was so much fun.
