"Readers ready for chapter books will solve the crime and then be surprised by the twist at the end. Here's hoping for more hard-boiled detecting from Wilcox and Griswold!"
——Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

"Move over Spade, Friday, and Clouseau. There's a new badge in town. Meet Detective Wilcox, Missing Food Investigator. This inquisitive mouse will lead independent readers on a punny romp across the farm for his latest case to catch a cake thief. Kids are sure to be back for seconds."
——Summer Dawn Laurie, Books Inc.

"I love this simple Dragnet-style early reader. With lots of inside jokes and spot art to heighten the mood, readers get to solve a mystery along with Detective Wilcox and Captain Griswold. Six fun-filled chapters of humor, just waiting to be read. Bonus points if you can read it aloud in Sergeant Friday tone of voice!"
——Tracy Gallagher, Manager, Collection Development Youth Materials at Ingram Content Group

"Perfect for junior detectives to sharpen their reading and reasoning skills. Plus, what kid doesn't like cake?"
——Dianne Baasch, Librarian, International School of Yangoon, Myanmar
