BIG MAX: An I Can Read Mystery

by Kin Platt ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 25, 1965

Big Max was the world's greatest detective. Everyone knew it."" That's why the King of Pooka put Big Max on the track of his missing elephant Jumbo. Big Max looks and acts like a half-size Groucho Marx in Sherlock Holmes get-up. His trip over to Pooka Pooka via big black umbrella is broad, slapstick comedy. His solution of the case is logical as it is funny. Typical of the I Can Read books, the illustrations (which are quite cartoonish in this book) help to extend the storyline beyond the simple text. Easy to read, easy to laugh at.
