Detective Gordon: The First Case by Ulf Nilsson
Country of Origin: Sweden A very fat toad sat at the desk with an important piece of paper in front of him and a pen in his hand. This was the famous Detective Gordon, chief of police and chief of detectives in this forest. The famous Chief Detective Gordon, feared by all criminals. But Detective Gordon was asleep. He lay on his important paper, his face in a small pile of cake crumbs. His mouth was open and he was snoring. From the corner of his mouth, spit dribbled onto the paper. Someones stealing nuts from the forest and its up to Detective Gordon to catch the thief! Unfortunately, solving this crime means standing in the snow and waiting for a long time...If only he had an assistant - someone small, fast and clever - to help solve this terrible case. A brilliant detective story by one of Swedens top childrens writers and illustrated in full colour throughout. A book to read alone or aloud!
"This involving, thought-provoking chapter book is utterly charmingNilsson...creates endearing characters and a childlike sensibility through writing that is clean, precise, and amusing. "A wonderful choice for independent reading, particularly for kids who become accomplished readers early, the handsome first volume in the Detective Gordon series is a rewarding read-aloud as well." starred review, Booklist (US)
