Mary Elise Monsell authored many children’s books, which were
issued in several languages and reprints. Her Mr. Pin mystery
series, a bestseller in school book clubs and an IRA/CBC Children’s
Choice, was developed into a musical in Chicago. Her book,
Underwear!, has become a classic. Monsell has a bachelor’s degree
in journalism from Northwestern University and a master’s degree in
teaching.
“Lively plotting, staccato, deadpan delivery in whimsical parody of
Dashiell Hammett; an economical style and carefully controlled
repetition of ideas and phrases and an engaging
hero . . . Genuinely funny, brief mysteries.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Kids will like this penguin detective and will cheer him on.”
—Booklist
“An inviting, non-threatening, easy chapter book.” —School Library
