قلب «جرقّه» تاپتاپ میزند. حالا دیگر در کلانتری شهر آفتابگردان استخدام شده و اولین مأموریتش به عنوان یک سگِ پلیس مخفی این است که دزدِ تاج جواهرنشان را شناسایی کند.
In Book 3, Fizz is finally going on his first undercover assignment! I love that this series appeals to dog-lovers and at the beginning of each book the author has all the characters laid out for you. It's fun to see familiar faces and also to see who might be new to each book!
This book revisits the theme from Book 1 and 2 about bullying (from the same dog) and also brings in some elements of identity and self-confidence. I think as the series has progressed the clues become a little more elusive and the suspects are a little trickier to narrow down (for kids at least). Fizz and his co-workers are on the scene of a famous dog show trying to catch a thief. Teamwork, reasoning and even moments of self-awareness are all visited in this book. Again, great lessons to be learned here and challenging enough for independent readers, but still approachable to be read to younger ones.
The author wrote another great case/sequel. This time undercover police dog Fizz teams up with his undercover buddy dog and nemesis police dog. Fizz gets to live out his family's dream of competing in a dog show competition which is exactly what he didn't want to do. But he has to compete to solve the case. Naturally the nemesis police dog, Amadeus, wants to go it alone, but just like in the last story, Fizz and he end up working together to solve the case. Fizz has to think quickly and I laughed at the visuals. I couldn't wait to read the next one.
Another fantastic Fizz book. My first grade teachers are reading the Fizz books (so far first two in series) and the kids are mesmerized. The books definitely appeal to young kids. What the teachers like is that there are words kids won't know but can easily be figured out within the context of the statement. In this book I enjoyed the clues, as I know the younger kids will
I enjoyed the first two Fizz books more. Fizz the dog is an undercover cop dog who tries to nab the thief with the help from two other dogs. I love that there are pictures on the bottom of the page. My five year old asked me to read it because of that, though it is a chapter book. Great introduction to mystery books.
Fizz returns and will be solving his first case as an undercover police dog. Together with his team they enter a dog championship undercover and figure out who is stealing the tiaras. Plenty of humor for elementary readers. Also gives them a chance to solve the case before the dogs do.
My 5 yo’s review: It was really, really, really fun and I really loved it! I love Fizz and loved helping him find clues and solve the mystery. Fizz is a good dog detective! This has been my favorite book so far.
For the first time I have found a book that my son will not let me stop reading! My five year old loves these books!! Thank you Lesley Gibbs and Stephen Michael King!
This is the 3rd book in this series, Fizz actually gets to begins first mission. My tutoring kids get so excited when reading these books and my little brother has reread them so many times!
Great series to read with all 4 of my young children. Chapters are short, illustrations are wonderful (and get the giggles going!), and keep my kids asking for more!
