In the colorful and letter-filled Capital City, there' s never a moment' s rest for Private I, the city' s best investigator. Trouble seems to always have a way of finding him-trouble with a capital T. On this particular day, T tells Private I that his watch is missing. And T isn' t alone-the citizens of Capital City have lost track of timepieces all over town! Can Private I catch the perp and make up for lost time before it' s too late?
"Emerging readers will enjoy the puns and wordplay. . . Old-fashioned fun to push kids into funny business; pair this with Bill Martin, Jr. and John Archambault' s Chicka Chicka Boom Boom or any in Eric Litwin, James Dean, and Kimberly Dean' s "Pete the Cat" series. "--School Library Journal "This book' s wordplay and visual humor are just right for the intended audience; time is sure to fly with Time Flies in the story-hour mix. "--Horn Book Wordplay and visual quips abound in this clever and uncontrived sendup of the detective noir drama. . . Time flies when you' re having fun reading this terrifically silly spoof. --Kirkus
