Want to aspire to greatness? Check out this new edition of Timmy Failure’s first adventure—featuring the bonus section “How to Draw Timmy and Total.”
He may be clueless, but the comically self-confident Timmy Failure is CEO of the best detective agency in town, perhaps even the nation. Now Timmy’s legion of fans are invited to set off on their own path to mastery with the help from Stephan Pastis. Added material includes step-by-step instructions on how to draw Timmy and his impressively lazy business partner, the polar bear Total—including a trick to making them both look a tiny bit nuts (hint: the secret is in the eyes). Even better, kids are invited to share the spotlight with Timmy by sending their drawings to his website, for a chance to be featured in the Timmy Failure Gallery of Greatness.

I love this book. It is really funny and his pet is completely unexpected. He works hard and reminds me of myself. I can't wait to read the next one!!
Timmy Failure is a great book. His pet polar bear, Total Failure is Timmy's best friend. I think the story is funny because he shows some people in his class and one of them he always puts a big black blob on her face when the show her in a picture.
Timmy Failure is a funny book about a boy who creates a detective agency with his pet polar bear named Total. I didn't really like this book but if you enjoy reading funny cartoon type books, you might like Timmy Failure.
