I received an advance reader copy for #RamonFellinitheDogDetective from #NetGalley
One night, the fish bowl fell and made a loud crash. The boy came down to investigate, then the doorbell rang. Came Ramon Fellini, the dog detective disguised as a cat to help find the culprit. A funny story to read, with clear hints of who the culprit can be, wrapped up in investigation way. This is a must-read book for curious minds who loves to investigate.
An early elementary book for lovers of mysteries and animals. This was an enjoyable and funny book about a cat who pretends to be a dog detective solving a mystery.
Ramon Fellini is a detective, hoping to help a boy solve the mystery of how his fish ended up on thr floor surrounded by the smashed glass of his bowl. The detective looks and acts like a cat but is adamant that he is merely a dog wearing a very convincing cat disguise.
This book made me think of Brenda is a Sheep by Morag Hood. The reader knows exactly what's going on but the little boy in the story has no idea. I really liked the use of shadows and the detailed illustrations.
Ramon Fellini, they call him...a.k.a the Dog Detective. Well, as much of a dog as a cat pretending to be a dog dressed as a cat can be, y'know? Ramon is on the case, trying to find who could've knocked down a fishbowl. Will he find the culprit? (Is...he the culprit?)
A very silly, humorous read that made me laugh out loud. Sadly involves the death (or uh, faraway farewell?) of a family's fish, so keep that in mind for more sensitive readers. But I imagine this will probably be a hit for most kiddos.
Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.
Ramon Fellini the Dog Detective is about a detective, who is allegedly a dog (but is really a cat) who is brought in by a kiddo when his fish's tank is knocked over. Who are the suspects? Apparently not the cat, I mean dog. It's a silly read with cute art!
I would recommend this for young readers, unless they have a pet fish they are very fond of.
Thanks to Wm. B. Eerdman's Publishing Company and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
A fun book with a wry sense of humor, reminiscent of Klassen. I think the book is maybe let down by a poor translation, the prose itself is a bit clunky.
I loved this. Funny, with jokes for adults and kids. A really beautiful illustration style which really set the moody crime-esque scene. The dialogue was fun and playful, I can imagine having a lot of fun reading this aloud in an almost pantomime way.
I wonder how younger more sensitive readers would find the (implied until proven true) plot but for me it was note perfect!
I can imagine this character being on screen with the same sarcastic humour and many crime cases to 'solve'...
