A fantastic title. I loved several aspects of this book. Colourful, detailed illustrations. A great pace and length will keep young readers’ interests. Historical setting is unique and not too much. The mystery is within reach for kids to wrap their heads around.

I would love to adapt this into my classroom as a means to introduce the mystery genre to my 3rd grade students. I know kids will love this title!

I had such a fun time reading this book!
I'll start with the illustrations. I loved how much beautiful detail there was, and every drawing had such a luxurious tone to it, perfectly matching the setting of the book. The colors were soft and glamorous, yet still colorful and fun. Kudos to the illustrator for taking the time to honor the time period and the setting of the book 100%!
As for the writing, the plot, and the story itself: all were great! There was quite a bit of writing on each page, but it worked nicely. Additionally, the author used page breaks and type size to their advantage to make the story more exciting. Such a smart choice to make! The plot was clear and present, with a nice beginning, middle, and unexpected end. I enjoyed the entire ride of this story and I have zero doubt that kids will, too. Lastly, the story wasn't unique, exactly, but it was definitely fresh. I liked the idea a lot and I know that it will also be a hit among young readers.
Bravo!

Gosh! The illustrations in this book are amazing, so detailed! There was so much happening on each and every page. I loved the diversity of characters, and the lovely little add in of puppies!

A fun mystery for young readers involving The World Baking Competition at the Incredible Hotel and a missing recipe for chocolate cake recipe. Can talented sleuth Matilda get to the bottom of the stolen recipe? A gem!

From the story to the illustrations this was a very enjoyable book. I loved the style of the art used, my little one who I read the book to also enjoyed the pictures. It's a fun mystery for children! The story is not too long or too short.

This was a very cute kids book. It was charming and had a familiar feel to it. It felt like Sherlock Holmes with the spirit of Wes Anderson. I really liked that I could dive into the book without reading the first one, but now that I know there is a first one I'm on my way to read it! The illustration as well was fantastic!

A second INCREDIBLE HOTEL book? How exciting!!

In this sequel to the INCREDIBLE HOTEL, we see Stefan sign up for a baking contest run by a celebrity chef. Stefan hopes to create a great new recipe for the contest, but his recipe note goes missing overnight! What to do??

I absolutely love the illustrations in this series. The hotel itself reminds me of Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, which makes me feel quite happy. I found this sequel to be just as delightful as the first book. I loved the additional character of Stefan’s best friend Matilda, and seeing her character arc grow. Overall, a delightful read!

I loved the illustrations of the book. I loved how every page had a little clue to who the thief is before the investigation starts and the illustrations were beautiful. I loved how there is a lot of detail in the backgrounds, which adds another layer to the story itself.

This was an adorable story, perfect for preschoolers and younger elementary students!

I love having a mystery for younger children - it allows them to practice making predictions and helps them really engage with the story. The solution to the mystery was totally unexpected and absolutely fantastic.

The illustrations were beautiful, engaging and fun. There was a lot of diversity in the different people represented in the illustrations, which is a huge plus.

Overall, a wonderful book.

Like with the first book in the series, the story is very entertaining and whimsical with wonderful, dreamy illustrations and endearing characters. Looking forward to the next one!

Matilda is a competent detective who needs to solve a mystery at the Incredible Hotel.
Accompanied by beautiful illustrations in a lovely setting and characters, this is good story for KS1 (K1) children.
It is rather compact for KS2 readers.
