P.I. Butterfly

There's something fishy about this mystery--thankfully, P.I. Butterfly is on the case! P.I. Butterfly, a girl with a talent for solving mysteries, is ready to start her weekend with a trip outside to learn more about her favorite insect--you can probably guess which one--when fate intervenes. Alerted by screams, P.I. Butterfly discovers her little sister, Quinn, in the kitchen crying over an overturned fishbowl: Mili the guppy is missing. P.I. Butterfly begins her investigation, and not a moment too soon, because the list of household suspects is long. Could it be Mom, who was tired of cleaning Mili's bowl? Or toddler Tobias, who wanted a cooler pet than a fish? Or Alfredo, the family's cat, who might have been looking for a fishy treat? Or could it be someone else? With each new possibility, goofy humor ensues as P.I. Butterfly examines the clues and questions the suspects. Luckily, the disappearance is explained, and the book closes with a list of tips from P.I. Butterfly for aspiring sleuths conducting their own investigations. Along the way, she also provides a few vocabulary words--some relating to butterflies and some relating to investigations. This is a delightful, cartoonish romp with zany digital illustrations that will have readers begging to know when the promised sequel will be released. P.I. Butterfly and her family are light-skinned. Don't let this book flutter by--read it! (observation game) (Graphic novel. 8-10) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
