Hermelin is a most unusual mouse. After making a home for himself in the attic of Number 33 Offley Street, he discovers a typewriter. One day, he notices the message board where local residents have left notes about their missing jewels and pets. Suddenly, Hermelin is on the case! He returns the missing items to their rightful owners with typed notes, but on one knows where to find this mysterious detective. When the residents search him out, will they accept a mouse as their friend and helper?
Mini Grey, of the Traction Man series and Toys in Space, has created another winning picture book. The whimsical cartoon-like illustrations provide depth and detail in Hermelin's world that will bring readers back again and again. They will want to tag along with the detective mouse and will cheer when he finds a young sleuthing partner to join him. I can't wait for more adventures with Hermelin and Emily! This one is a must-purchase for my library collection!
