在這一集中，Rosamond又找不到了Big Hex的枕頭套，半夜打電話給 Nate the Great請他幫她找回來，他能幫她找回來嗎？看看他是如何解開謎題的，這又是怎麼一回事呢？
這一系列的偵探故事，都是在描寫Nate the Great 跟他的狗Sludge如何幫他的朋友們，解開日常生活碰到的難題。相當的生活化，故事內容雖比不上福爾摩斯或是科南來得複雜難解，但是其用字不難，書中的案件也都是生活中常見的小事，對於充滿好奇心，而剛開始試著閱讀小說的兒童來說，是相當好的讀物。適合7歲以上或是已學習英文三至四年的兒童閱讀。It is two o'clock in the morning when the telephone rings and Nate the Great learns that Rosamond's pillowcase is missing. She needs it now because her cat Big Hex likes to sleep on it.
Outside it is damp, dark, and dreary, but a good (yawning) sleuth knows that the hunt must go on. Can Nate the Great find the missing piece of laundry before the sun comes up, and before his bedroom slippers wear out?
"The crisp, clipped narrative is both a clever parody of the hard-boiled detective story genre and a boon to beginning readers."--Booklist
" A satisfying, easy-reader mystery."--School Library Journal |
