Inspector Hobbes and the Curse: A Fast-Paced Comedy… par Wilkie Martin

Good story and interesting characters. In my opinion, there is way too much time spent on describing food to the point where it interferes with the flow of the plot.

The Lazy Rabbit: Startling New Grim Modern Fable… par Wilkie J. Martin

"Grim" is in the title.

This is a classic "Lazy" fable and it doesn't end well for the title character, obviously. The watercolor illustrations are lovely, even with the trail of blood (which is kind of chilling drawn in that medium), and the story is well told.

I haven't given full stars because its target audience is unclear. Word usage along with the way the story is written and drawn, reads for kids age 2-6. However, the subject matter is definitely geared towards older kids, third-grade, and up. I feel young kids will be traumatized and older kids will be bored.

Used specifically as a learning tool for this particular lesson, it would work well for any age group (with a warning)… (plus d'informations)

Inspector Hobbes and the Bones-4 par Wilkie Martin

Andy is married! He really has come of age (even if it happened a little late in life for him). We see glimpses of more maturity, but there is still a lot of the accident prone and lazy man child of previous books. Andy's wife has gone abroad for her job and he finds himself homeless, set up for blackmail, and back in Inspector Hobbes home during a flood. Between helping with rescues, Andy gets embroiled in another supernatural mystery - and comes too close to comfort with a "man eater".
