From Booklist:
Gr. 1-3. The star of Happy Valentine's Day, Miss Hildy (1997) returns in a Step into Reading chapter-book mystery. Detective Hildy lives with twelve pink flamingos--gifts from an admirer. On Halloween, she discovers that her detective cape and cap are missing and sets out to solve the mystery in substitute detective gear--a witch's cape and hat, a spyglass for her missing magnifying glass, and her shopping list for her clue notebook. Among the trick-or-treaters, she spots the thief, who turns out to be one of her flamingos. Filled with action words new readers will relish, the simple text is neatly divided into chapters of manageable length. The richly colored illustrations show the comedy in Miss Hildy's detective work and in the cacophony at her home. This is a mystery beginning readers will have fun puzzling out on their own.
