Publisher's summary

The New York Times best selling cartoonist behind the nationally acclaimed comic strip Pearls Before Swine, Stephan Pastis has won raves for Timmy Failure, the hilarious first book in a new series for young listeners. With the help of a polar bear named Total, Timmy Failure hopes to strike it rich by running the best detective agency around. The only problem is that our supremely confident hero is often more bumbling than brainy.

Timmy is so funny he gets ALL his cases wrong and the POLAR BEAR. Total is so funny. I’ve read all seven books and I’m reading them again.
I just love Rollo too. And the way his head shakes… ha ha ha!

Good book but a little overrated

Yeah I really liked this book a lot. The charterers are likable, the narrator is OUTSTANDING but some times I feel like the book can drag on a little bit. I mean trust me I like Timmy failure as much as the next guy but I feel like this one is just a little boring in some areas. 100% not as bad as the second one though.

Need the illustrations

This was a cute, funny story. We were unfamiliar with the series when I bought. Both my son and I love audiobooks, and this one is truly well-read. The only problem is that you miss the cute illustrations. We read the 2nd in the series aloud ourselves, and access to the illustrations made a difference.
