Ms. Flamingo’s cat, Fluffy, has gone missing, and Agent Lion is assigned the job to track her down. Easily distracted by food of any sort (especially jelly donuts), Agent Lion isn’t the most efficient detective. He searches high and low, interviews witnesses, and even considers that Fluffy may be wearing a disguise.

This book is fun and funny. The humor is pretty subtle and may be lost on younger readers, but they’ll still enjoy the story and pictures. The illustrations are colorful, whimsical, and fun. The facial expressions and details of the illustrations add to the humor of the book. Overall, this is a fun read recommended for K-2nd graders.
