Inviting readers to be his lookouts, and whistle ("You know how to
whistle, don't you? Just put your lips together and blow") should
pursuing pachyderm police officer Jumbo Wayne Jr. catch up,
cheese-stealing mouse Fingers McGraw leads a high-speed scamper
down seedy back streets rendered with a mix of Photoshopped urban
images and digitally created cartoon art. Replete with subplots,
plus narrow escapes from rats, cats and other shady characters,
this nocturnal escapade makes a compelling draw, even for children
who won't catch the many movie references. Fingers is eventually
nabbed - but as the final page and the sensationalistic newspaper
story on the endpapers reveal, no jail can hold him for long.
Better guard your gorgonzola. (Picture book. 6-8) (Kirkus Reviews)
Fingers McGraw is the sneakiest cheese thief in town. He's on the
run with the law on his tail and he needs you to help him make his
getaway! Keep a look out for the big eyes, large feet and long nose
of officer Elephant as you follow Fingers' trail through downtown
New York and remember, even the best look-out can fail and even the
sneakiest of thieves get caught...or do they?
A fast, funny tale that will have you hooked from page 1.
