In one case, Bugs Meany is outsmarted once again in a futile attempt to frame Encyclopedia and his junior partner, Sally Kimball, for theft. In another, the boy sleuth helps his father, Police Chief Brown, solve a case about the winner of the state shower-singing contest. In a third, Encyclopedia saves Kitty's key-lime pie from the jaws of Bugs. In the title tale, the hero of Idaville figures out who put knockout powder in Meg's dog's food during a tryout for a dog-food tasting job. There are six more mini-mysteries here to solve. Some are more clever and logical than others, but the touches of humor make them readable and appealing. Solving the cases requires careful investigation-a way to get kids to practice their reading and deductive skills in a painless manner. Another hit for the young detective's many fans. nKate Kohlbeck, Randall School, Waukesha, WI nCopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. n nProduct Description nWill Wilford Wiggins finally part the kids of Idaville from their hard-earned allowances?
