SuitabookBarking up the Wrong Tree
Philip Ardagh, Elissa Elwick
- Reading
- Try one story together, pausing to spot what Sally and Fetch may have misunderstood. Afterwards, talk about whether their mishaps feel funny and how the damage affects others.
- Themes
- Mistaken detective work: Sally and Fetch investigate mysteries but repeatedly get the wrong end of the stick, remaining undeterred as they move from one case to another. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Unintended destruction: As the detectives dash between crime scenes on their bicycle, they leave a trail of destruction and seem unaware of it. The destruction is presented within a madcap comic adventure.
- Worth knowing
