On a quest to become the World's Greatest Detective, Inspector Flytrap is only taking on mysteries that are BIG DEALS. But wherever this potted plant and ravenously hungry sidekick go, chaos follows!
That was so... zany. I loved Bell's illustrations and snorted out loud at several absolutely ridiculous parts, but I really could have gone without Angleberger describing one character's voice as "crazy" and another "crying like a baby." I had to keep reminding myself that I am NOT the target audience for this book.

Meh. There isn't much to this book but there doesn't need to be. It's super silly and goofy and the intended audience will love it. If it serves as a stepping stool to bigger and better things, especially for a reluctant reader, then i'm all for it. It isn't for me and I know that but there are plenty of high quality reads at this level that I actually enjoy reading, this just isn't one of them.

What the world needed which it never had seen before was a series of books about a mystery solving venus flytrap plant.
of course it did?
I mean what else would we need?
As idiotic and ridiculous as it sounds this is a very silly book and therefore it has a certain level of shall we say entertainment value.

Son enjoyed this book and we are enjoying the series. Sad that it’s only 3 books.

I was expecting a bit more from this. it's overly simple and young. I was expecting something along the lines of magic tree house or catwings, instead I got toot and puddle. which is cute, just not what it looks like. which is this book to a third. cute, but nothing there.

Weirdly appealing adventures of a flytrap plant detective and his goat assistant. Silly kid humor throughout, and some valuable lessons about observation and not eating everything.

I have to say the charm of these books wore out pretty quickly. We read them in reverse order and the same jokes got old. My son enjoyed all 3 of the books. It was cute - I wish there’d been a longer mystery plot line or some depth to the characters.

I wish this book had ended on a less heteronormative note, but it's Tom Angleberger and Cece Bell, so I really can't complain. It's pretty darn hilarious.
