نقد و بررسی
Three older children are self-appointed sleuths. Despite their young age, they're pretty good at the job, locating a kidnapped author and bank robber. David Pittu's pleading voice is especially suited to this work. The kids sound realistic, especially when they whine and beg, and Pittu makes listeners empathize with little Ruth Rose when she loses her cat. He conveys the dangerous situations the children get into by speaking more softly and slowly, adding suspense. Although somewhat predictable, these stories are irresistible to kids. A.G.H.

Gr 1-3-The first three of Ron Roy's fun easy-reader mysteries The Absent Author, The Bald Bandit (both Random, 1997), and The Canary Caper (Random, 1998) are included in this first audiobook version of the series. Thoughtful Dink, ever-hungry Josh, and loud-voiced Ruth Rose are off for high adventure as they deal with a possible author-kidnapping, a devious bank robber, and a pet-snatching conspiracy. The stories are just right for transitional readers who are not quite ready for the Boxcar Children mysteries. There are clues to follow, a few red herrings, and friendly supporting adults. The inclusion of a helpful police officer is a nice touch. Attentive listeners should be able to solve the mysteries along with the young detectives. There's enough danger here to give children a delightful shiver, but things never really get out of hand. David Pittu reads the books with energy, individualizing each character and bringing the stories to life. This is a delightful way to introduce young readers to a popular series, and would also make a good listening center in primary grade classrooms.-Teresa Bateman, Brigadoon Elementary School, Federal Way, WA
