Praise for Nate the Great and Me

"Fans will find a puzzle to solve in the dedication, an empty chair at Nate's Detective Day party (where his friends invite the reader to join them), Nate's personal tips on detection, and his recipes for pancakes. Another success for Nate, Sharmat, and Simont."--Booklist

"Sharmat's simple, witty text and Simont's equally witty illustrations are a winning combination."--SLJ

"Nate, Sludge, and all their friends have been delighting beginning readers for years."--Kirkus Reviews
