Ann Cameron
''Trouble in Bugland'' is spirited and offbeat . . . . Children who know Conan Doyle's Holmes will, of course, most enjoy ''Trouble in Bugland.'' But even those who don't are likely to appreciate the book's sly mock seriousness and flights of rhetoric and imagination. -- New York Times
Publisher's Weekly
Inspector Mantis (read Sherlock Holmes) and his capable companion Doctor Hopper star in this collection of mysteries, ranging from ''The Case of the Missing Butterfly'' to ''The Case of the Caterpillar's Head.'' Yes, they're insects, solving crimes in Bugland, with a cast of characters that includes the circus owner, P. T. Barnworm, and Captain Flatfootfly.
