Poppy and Sam are hanging out in the garden where they live when they hear cries of distress from Basil--someone has nibbled on his leaves! To find the culprit, Poppy & Sam interview a number of insect suspects, try to stay up all night to catch the thief redhanded (FAIL), and eventually set a variety of traps to find the snacker who has gone after Basil.

I don't usually enjoy picture books that are designed in comic book style, but this one won me over. I love the simple cheerful illustrations, and the story is fun; I love all the insects who come into play here! This is a good book for anyone who loves bugs, loves to garden, or just wants a fun, simple book.
