Timmy Failure: Now Look What You’ve Done by Stephan Pastis - - ESSENTIAL

Pastis, Stephan Timmy Failure: Now Look What You’ve Done, 275 pgs. Candlewick Press, 2014. $14.99  

Content: G. 

Timmy Failure is back, and now there is a detective contest at his school.  In fact, it’s a district wide contest sponsored by the Superintendent with a $500 prize for the winner.  Timmy needs that money to secure his empire, but Timmy has a broken leg, the clues are irrelevant and Total, his polar bear, is uncooperative - - he’s afraid of Great Aunt Colander’s bird.  Can Timmy pull it together in time to solve the greatest case of his career? 

Book 2 in the series can easily stand on it’s own, but is a delightful follow-up to “Mistakes were Made”.  The illustrations are hilarious, and help tell the story.  Readers will be asking for #3.
