From husband-and-wife team Tom Angleberger, creator of the New York Times bestselling Origami Yoda series, and Cece Bell, author/illustrator of the Newbery Honor graphic novel El Deafo, comes the start to a funny and clever illustrated chapter-book series about a mystery-solving Venus flytrap. With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, this early-chapter-book series is a must for beginning readers. Inspector Flytrap in the Da Vinci Cold introduces kids to the humorous and wacky world of Inspector Flytrap’s Detective Agency, home to the world-renowned solver of BIG DEAL mysteries. The plant detective works tirelessly with his assistant Nina the Goat on his community’s unsolved cases. There’s no case too big, but there are definitely cases too small for this endearingly self-important plant detective.
Celebrating the disabled yet enabled, the character of Inspector Flytrap is wheeled everywhere (on a skateboard, of course) by his goat sidekick as this mystery-solving duo works on cases such as “The Big Deal Mystery of the Stinky Cookies” and “The Big Deal Mystery of the Missing Rose.”
On his first caper, Inspector Flytrap heads to the Art Museum’s Secret Lab to discover what important message lies in a mysterious glob on a recently discovered Da Vinci flower painting. The ingenious solution: Da Vinci was allergic to flowers, and the glob is, er, evidence of that ancient sneeze.
Combining wacky humour and a silly cast of characters with adventure, friendship, and mystery, the powerhouse team of Tom Angleberger and Cece Bell have created a uniquely engaging series that is perfect for newly independent readers and fans of Ricky Ricotta, Captain Underpants and the Galaxy Zack series. Also included in these books are some graphic novel–style pages that will attract reluctant readers.

There were some naughty bits but l did like when lnspector flytrap went to Lulu Emu’s since lab and thought that when the artist was painting he needed to sneeze but he couldn’t get his hanker chief so he accidentally sneezed on his painting. I liked lnspector flytrap the best because he always wanted to go on a mission, he always had a plan and was brave. Kind of , because like l said there were some naughty bits were the goats were kissing but the reason l would recommend it is because maybe someone will be inspired for doing a job of solving because you have to use your brain for that .

It's funny and plus I'm thinking how can a goat eat everything! I'm also thinking how can a plant have hands! Hilarious

Inspector Flytrap In The Da Vinci Cold is a funny book which will keep you fresh. The story is filled with everlasting humour despite its somewhat boring plot. The scenes were they solve a 'Big-Deal Mystery' and then cause another big deal problem are just too unrealistic but at the same time, it just can't make you stop laughing. Overall, Inspector Flytrap In The Da Vinci Cold is a very funny mystery story which will have mixed opinions on each person.

Inspector Flytrap in the big deal of the stinky cookies was my favourite part of the book. i found it funny because it was about a pirate who had lost a shoe which was on top of a cookie shop. i wonder why the assistant goat nina did not eat her master who was a plant. Do you?
