The Case of the Cursed Dodo is a hilarious throwback to old time radio serials starring a hardboiled Winnie-the-Pooh. His name's Jake G. Panda, and he's a wildlife investigator. He works at a flophouse for endangered critters called the Last Resort. He's the hotel snoop. The resident fuzz.

It's his job to keep these unusual guests safe and out of harm's way. This first installment of The Endangered Files is a wild and woolly mystery involving a missing guest, a green bird, and a bunch of double-crossing critters all hot on the trail of a valuable artifact called The Cursed Dodo.

This audiobook is designed to introduce young listeners to the subject of endangered species in a fun and informative way. So join this tough talking panda detective and a cast of endangered creatures on a globe-trotting audio adventure that will appeal to the kid in all of us.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Case of the Cursed Dodo to be better than the print version?

Have only listened to the Audio..... My suspicion is that kids would enjoy the Audio more after reading the book.

What other book might you compare The Case of the Cursed Dodo to and why?

Sort of a animated version of many of the classic detectives.

Full of surprises, suspense, and FUN

What an original story! We meet Jake, a hard boiled panda detective, who's hot on the trail to solve a mystery, and to save endangered species while he's at it.

Completely imaginative tale, with a wide range of different characters/animals. Full of puns (which I love if handled masterfully, and Jake does not disappoint).

The sound effects, added music, enhanced background accents were right on the money as only this experienced, talented producer knows how to do. Each scene, every chapter was brought to life, sparkle, and adventure by this fantastic achievement.

I enjoyed this story better by listening to the CDs. :)

Can't wait to hear more of Jake G. Panda's tales. This was classic, and FUN!

(Says it's for kids -- are you kidding me? It's for everybody!!!)

More than an audio-movie

Very fun format - more like listening to a movie than a book. Kids would love this one full of lot of animals and action and sound effects!

WOW! Audiobook performed as a play/script

A dynamic treat! This audio included a full cast of performers, sound effects, and music. It was similar to listening to a play.
The characters were ... lolz characters within themselves! Very enjoyable and lively! Very upbeat and riddled with jokes and easy humour.
I absolutely LOVED it and am excited to share it with my infant granddaughters when they get older.
A deep and genuine thank you to the authors and narrators for providing me with this, at my request. It's a gift that will easily catapult me to title of the best grandmother (competition is fierce!)
I strongly recommend others to download and listen to this!

Dick Tracy meets Indiana Jones as a panda

Dick Tracy meets Indiana Jones and he is a panda. Great story for any and all ages. An old serial radio style production with a full cast brings to life this wonderful whimsical gritty tale of a hotel detective panda and his entourage of endangered animal acquaintances. What a truly wonderful story and a great way to introduce kids to endangered animals. Can't wait to listen to more in this series. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
