Spot It!
Case notes.
Let the detective look first. Open one answer at a time if you need a nudge. The counts below cover the story and case file, pages 4–43; covers and the title page repeat some pictures.
How many times can you find the plunger?
Fourteen appearances on pages 4–43: one in each of 4–5, 6–7, 16–17, 20–21, 22–23, 24–25, 28–29, 32–33, 34–35, 36–37, 38–39 and 42–43; two in the bedroom panels on 30–31. Look in Scott’s hand, beside him, on the bed, by the nightstand and at the case file’s lower-left corner.
Find the floppy-eared bunny hiding in the bedroom. Who is he? Turn the page!
Look for the floppy-eared toy rabbit on the bedroom chair: at the far left on 4–5 and 6–7, then at the right on 28–29, 36–37 and 38–39. He is a different rabbit from the small white ornament beside the lamp.
Find every full moon. Now find the crescent on the wall.
There are eleven full moons in the sky across the story: on 4–5, 6–7, 10–11, 26–27, 28–29, 30–31, 32–33, 34–35, 36–37, 38–39 and 40–41. Count the full moon on Dad’s scary book on page 10 as well and you get twelve. The gold wall crescent hangs above the bed, beside the shelf; try 28–29. The cape and posters have crescents too.
Find the trap’s bell before it goes JINGLE.
On page 27, the gold bell is on the ground at the front-left corner of the net, just beyond the syrup bottle. It appears again near the trash bag in 34–35.
What fell out of Dad’s trash bag?
A banana peel and a fish skeleton! Look below the torn bag in 32–33. They are still beside the bag in 34–35, caught up in the chocolate-and-feather mess.
