Detective Beans is the best in the business. Or he likes to think so at least. One day, Beans sets out to solve the mystery of who’s leaving him encouraging notes only to discover… his detective hat is missing. Before he can solve the note-giver mystery, he must track down his hat and might just find himself involved in his biggest case yet.
The artwork is so adorable. I loved meeting all the different characters.
The story itself was okay. It’s less so a mystery and more Beans chasing his hat around town, which leads to some humorous antics. It’s a cute little adventure and Beans gets into some real shenanigans. Cute humor.
A fun read sure to delight young cat-lovers looking for a light mystery with plenty of silliness and absurdly adorable illustrations.
