Detective
Gordon is a toad who thinks best with his eyes closed, often in a prone
position – in bed. He returns in this title to try to solve a very complicated
case concerning Goings On deep in the
forest. There is much wisdom in this short book because not only is Gordon a
detective (as well as being a toad) he is a humanist and philosopher – but he
never turns his readers off by overdoing it This is a book for newly confident
readers who like to think outside the square and would also be fun to read aloud to a class over a couple of hot summer afternoons.
