Inspector Flytrap in the Goat Who Chewed Too Much

By: Tom Angleberger, Cece Bell - Illustrator

Narrated by: Mark Turetsky

The next laugh-out-loud installment from the wacky Inspector Flytrap series, starring a plant detective and his assistant goat

From husband-and-wife team Tom Angleberger, creator of the New York Times best-selling Origami Yoda series, and Cece Bell, author/illustrator of the Newbery Honor graphic novel El Deafo, comes the third title in a funny and clever chapter-book series about a mystery-solving Venus flytrap. With easy-to-understand language, this early-chapter-book series is a must-have for beginning listeners.

In this new caper, what happens when Flytrap loses his partner in crime solving? All the clues point to his assistant, Nina the Goat, as the culprit, leading the city to arrest her and leaving Flytrap goatless. To save the city, Flytrap must unveil the true master criminal. But, can he do it alone?

Inspector Flytrap in the Goat Who Chewed Too Much brings listeners back to the wacky world of Inspector Flytrap's Detective Agency, home to the world-renowned solver of BIG DEAL mysteries. The plant detective works tirelessly with his assistant, Nina, on his community's unsolved cases. There's no case too big, but there are definitely cases too small for this endearingly self-important plant detective. Celebrating the disabled yet enabled, the character Inspector Flytrap is wheeled everywhere (on a skateboard, of course) by his goat sidekick as this mystery-solving duo works on cases such as "The Big Deal Mystery of the Stinky Cookies" and "The Big Deal Mystery of the Missing Rose".

Combining wacky humor and a silly cast of characters with adventure, friendship, and mystery, the powerhouse team of Tom Angleberger and Cece Bell have created a uniquely engaging series that is perfect for newly independent listeners and fans of Ricky Ricotta, Captain Underpants, and the Galaxy Zack series.
