Abstract

Butt Detective behaves like a perfect English gentleman, except that his
face looks like a butt, and he blows farts from his face! He is very kind
to ladies and likes tea and sweet-potato cakes. He often says, “This is
the curious incident,” and solves the mystery. In this first title of the
series, the Butt Detective tries to find a thief who stole all of the sweets
at a shop. Young readers can enjoy labyrinths and quizzes as well as the
story, which has them trying to figure out the truth together with the
Butt Detective.
