Bookroo's summary

Bernard the Bear is in a pickle—his whistle is missing, and he can't find it anywhere. Enter Jack Jones, a detective with a penchant for pretzels, who takes Bernard to meet Bunny Brown, the brains behind the High-Rise Private Eyes. Together, they embark on a whimsical investigation to crack the case of the missing whistle. Will they solve the mystery, or will Jack's pretzel obsession derail their efforts? Dive into this delightful caper where every clue counts and nothing is as it seems.

From the publisher

Why is Bernard the Bear baffled? Well, for one thing, he has lost his whistle and he can’t figure out where it is. For another thing, he has just met Jack Jones-one of the High-Rise Private Eyes and a very fine detective in his own right-and Jack won’t stop talking about . . . pretzels! Luckily for the baffled bear (and for kids who are ready to read on their own), Jack takes the mystery (and the bear) back to the high-rise to meet Bunny Brown. Bunny is the brains of the operation, and she quickly determines that it’s high time for the High-Rise Private Eyes to open case file #7: The Case of the Baffled Bear.
