This was a gift from my son's godmother - who has four children of her own - and is simply one of the funniest and engaging children's book that we've owned - and read... and read .... my son has loved it from the age of two and seeing that it still seems to be relatively undiscovered it's a great gift for friends whose kids seem to have all the normal favourites.

This is a fantastic book, witty and original with an unusual illustrative style. I am happy to read to my daughter again and again, I'm not sure which of us enjoys it the most.

Format:Paperback
An unusual yet simple beginning, gives the reader a great sense of anticipation and carries the reader right into the story. Dexter Bexley scooted .... (turn the page) and scooted.... (turn the page) right into.... (turn the page) a Big Blue Beastie. And although the Big Blue Beastie should probably have eaten up Little Dexter Bexley, Dexter Bexley would like to avoid being eaten so he comes up with better ideas. And so, the Big Blue Beastie first scoots with Dexter, and then their projects grow increasingly ambitious (and amusing to the reading on-looker).
My children (3-7) and I love the adventures of "Bexley and Beast: Private Detectives" which are each portrayed in only one of quaint picure each yet inspire the imagination to run wild (e.g. The case of the Solid Gold Snowball, and The Rubber Glove Affair). So Dexter successfully prevents himself being a snack for the Big Blue Beastie and at the end of this charming book it's the Big Blue Beastie who has the better idea.
This is a truly lovely book, timeless yet imaginative and the story is accompanied by fantastic illustrations, rather quirky and slightly old-fashioned, which follow the pace of the story with great flair and character. Brilliant!

Beautifully simple
I have often noticed that books with detailed illustrations and little text appeal to my children (Alice, just turned 7 and Louise, just turned 4). Read more

Bizarre
Not recommended. It involves peculiar jokes about stocks and shares, detective agencies, and has a syrupy ending. My 2 year old certainly didn't know what any of it was about.
