"[An] electrically charged comic-book story.'"
--Kirkus Reviews-- (5/1/2010 12:00:00 AM)
"[A] humorous mystery. Children who are just beginning to read
graphic novels independently will enjoy solving the case with
Sasspants. The full-color cartoons enhance the comic appeal."
--School Library Journal-- (5/1/2010 12:00:00 AM)
"Children can look and guess for themselves about the clues and red
herrings the book presents. The humor in the characters'
personalities and dialogue makes this a lively and entertaining
book."

"Young readers will appreciate the zaniness of the pet shop and the
fun mystery, and Yue's colorful art uses a straightforward panel
design that's easy to follow."
--Booklist-- (3/15/2010 12:00:00 AM)
"Yue's graphic panels, colored by Hi-Fi Design, make the most of
the comic potential and extend it with plenty of visual slapstick.
Middle graders will close this and ask right away for Detective
Pants's next caper."
--Kirkus Reviews-- (3/15/2010 12:00:00 AM)
