I liked the stuffed up penguin. It was the baddie's old toy. They used it to trick her.

Love love love love this book. It's brilliant and all about solving mysteries. My favourite character is Wily Fox and Albert the mole. I want to read all of the Fox Investigates books.

Wily Fox has stolen a painting.Dimitri is trying to do whatever he can to stop him.He was making a fake business but he was up to something and the all of the other animals didn't know. He acted as if he was innocent .The painting he had brought was a mistake because actually it wasn't for sale he refused to give it back so nasty things happened. Then he was caught and taken to prison.Wily Fox was so mischievous and cheeky. This book was quite interesting. .

The story of Wily the detective fox and his friends is amazing! Fast-paced and awesome illustrations ring the story to life. In this book Wily is sorting the case of a mysterious 'fake' painter, Kodogski and will make new alliances and enemies along the way in Paris..... Thoroughly enjoyed!

This is a book about a detective fox who has to solve lots of mysteries. I got very excited reading about all the clever ways that the fox solves the crimes.

This book is very good! it has lots of action and also a little bit of humour. This book is all about a fox called Wily. Wily is a investigator and when he hears about a stolen painting that seems to have more to it than he thinks he can't just help getting to the bottom of the mystery before anyone else. I like this book because it is funny got a good story to it. I would recommend this book to 8+ because it does have some tricky words in it through out the book.
