It's a tough case. Somebody is raiding Oliver's garbage can each night, but who? The list of suspects is long--Rosamond and Esmeralda, the girls down the street; Rosamond's cats; and all the shrews, moles skunks, birds, and racoons in the neighborhood. Nate courageousely encounters a skunk (nose first) and a telephone pole (head on), but not until he goes under cover of the garbage-can lid does he narrow the suspects down to one.

"Ahora sabía por qué Esmeralda siempre tiene la boca abierta: Porque dice cosas sabias"
Se disfrutó jajajajajsjs.
No es el mejor libro infantil que he leído, pero me entretuvo.
El culpable es muy evidente (no sé si para un/a niño/a también)
Me hizo pasar un buen rato y me sacó unas cuantas risas.

Yo, el Gran Fercho, he tenido mejores invitaciones" -
My 6 year old son and I thought it was very obvious who had been getting into Oliver's garbage can at night. Yet, Nate the Great still checks with two kids before assuming an animal has gotten into the garbage can. Isn't that what you would assume too? Some little kid is going to get up during the night and rustle through someone else's garbage. Nate actually asks a kid, "Do you eat garbage?"
and to another kid he says, "Do you get up at night to visit Oliver's garbage can?" Come on, those are ridiculous questions to ask someone. My son wanted me to rate this book as 1 star but since it had us laughing so hard I bumped it up a star. Sometimes bad books make for great entertainment! -
3.5 stars because, look...these are not great literature...but they're cute stories and my 4 younger kids(ages 7-11) think they're a hoot. In this case, Nate's adventures as a detective include a run-in with a stinky skunk, the introduction of his dog, and a satisfying conclusion as Nate the Great discovers who is responsible for tipping over Oliver's garbage can...and the culprit is closer to home than Nate first suspects. A cute book for a bedtime read, or a good transition book for readers who are ready for a little bit more.

In this book, this is Nate's first mission at night so he must go undercover to find out who is tilting the trash! This story keeps you on feet to try and see who tilts it, when he goes undercover he thinks that its a skunk! However, the trash is still tilted the next morning and Nate goes undercover again. When he wakes up from the trash can he is still standing and find his dog right in front of him and he realizes that he is tired of pancakes so Nate makes sure to feed him a bowl of food and a bone for him!

Nate the Great Goes Undercover (1974) by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat, illustrated by Marc Simont is the second book in the long series featuring the boy detective who loves solving mysteries as much as he does eating pancakes. In this entry, Nate is asked to solve the crime of Oliver's garbage can that is tipped over every night. Who is the culprit? Person or animal? And more importantly, what is the motive? It's a very early step-into-reading book. A step behind Encyclopedia Brown. Fun illustrations, and wacky hippie-like characters. My rating - 3/5
-
The Nate the Great early readers by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat are excellent and intriguing books for the early reader. In this one, young Nate tries to find out who has been tipping over his neighbour Oliver's garbage can. With his new trusty dog Sludge as his sidekick, Nate sets out to solve the mystery. He does some undercover work to find the answer.
The book is amusing and witty and will be very appealing to young readers. -
Nate the Great, Junior Detective and pancake lover, takes on the case of the Garbage Snatcher. This is Nate the Great first night time case. He investigates and hunts for clues to discover who, or what is knocking over Oliver the pest garbage cans during the night. What he discovers in breaking the case, and finding the culprit amazes him.
-
Nate the Great books are wonderful for co-reading. They have an "early chapter book" feel, with simple sentences, but plenty of the vocab is challenging for 6/7/8 year olds, and reading every-other-page together is a good way to help them work through new sight words. This story is clever and humorous, as usual.
-
I enjoyed this story more than some of the other Nate the Great stories because Nate has to do a stakeout in a garbage can. That gets a good reaction from the kids as they imagine having to sit in a garbage can at night. A wild animal encounter makes this story more interesting as well.
-
Some dated references, but the straightforward sentence structure makes it a good early chapter book.
I also like that Nate goes to the library to research. Interesting extra material at the end too. -
This book is about Nate the Great, he is an detective, he works alone and he loves pancakes. This time he is going to find out the garbage snatcher of Oliver’s garbage can. Is he going to solve the case or not? READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT!!!
-
This made me (the parent) laugh out loud! :)
Preschoolers' reviews:
"I learned that Sludge was tired of Nate's pancakes. I loved the whole thing."
"That was bad when Nate the Great went under the trash can. That's how he went undercover." -
Este libro es el primero que recuerdo haber leído por mi cuenta, lo habré leído cuando tenía unos 9 años. Estuve un montón de tiempo buscándolo y no lo encontraba asique ahora estoy feliz de haberlo encontrado🥺
-
Este fue mi primer libro del plan lector en mi colegio en primero de primaria, aún a mis 24 años lo conservo y aún me sigue emocionado. Este libro no solo determinó mi inicio en la lectura sino también en la novela de detectives que se sigue manteniendo como uno de mis géneros favoritos.
-
I enjoyed this book because I like mysteries. I also enjoyed this book because I liked the part when Nate the Great found out who was the garbage snatcher.
-
Read this because it's going to be performed at my theater.
This is a bit younger thank I prefer, hence only 3 stars. A simple story perfect for 8 year olds. -
It is a story about kid detective. His name is a nate and great. He is very smart, very witty detective. and many characterful kids are in there. This book looks like useful to the lower grades.
-
6 year old liked it. No chapters. Most of the jokes after the story weren’t great.
-
Fun chapter book series with simple text and corresponding illustrations on almost every page. Published in 1974, this is book #2 in the series. Ages 5-9.
-
5 stars for this classic introduction to mystery
-
Good twist though!
-
Excellent book for a reader who is just getting their confidence in reading.
