Praise for Fizz and the Show Dog Jewel Thief: Volume 3

"Fizz's adventures are essentially straightforward whodunits but with imaginative and whimsical glimpses into the canine lifestyle and various riffs on the value of family, friendship, teamwork, and even seeing the strengths in one's rivals-in Fizz's case, a literally massive adversary named Amadeus. The vocabulary and lighthearted themes are accessible to elementary grade readers while providing an engaging story. The experience is enhanced by King's vibrant, well-integrated illustrations, reminiscent of Quentin Blake's work in Roald Dahl's books. VERDICT A bit fluffy, like a sweet-natured lapdog. With all the excited energy of a happy puppy, these books are a fun and furry bunch." -- School Library Journal
