Super Sleuth is a delightful romp through creativity and chaos as Abba and the kids embark on a musical adventure with homemade instruments. With plenty of humor and charming illustrations, this story will have readers giggling from start to finish. The tuxedo cat adds an extra layer of fun, while the abundance of onomatopoeia words makes the tale come alive. Perfect for inspiring young minds to explore their own musical talents with household items, Super Sleuth is a must-read for families seeking laughter and creativity!

I was given the book (but not the video). First the story introduces all of the siblings, the cat, and then the auntie.
Abba, Coco, and Lina all then wanted to eat some cookies, but they noticed that there was only one left, and that Caruso (the cat) ate the rest of them.
Because they can't eat cookies they all decided to make a musical instrument, with items that they could all find around the house.
I didn't know that there was a video of this story- I think it'd be a good idea to watch it - to solve any confusion in the book and to have the most fun!

When reading the book without the accompanying video (on my lunch break in my office around colleagues), admittedly it is a little difficult to follow, but after finding the chance to tune into the animated version of the story on YouTube, the story truly comes to life and is wonderfully enjoyable. The illustrations are endearing and the story amusing and quite captivating. I love the characters and creativity of the whole read aloud/animated book venture. Great work!

Love this book! I gave it to a 10-year old friend of mine when she was a home sick from school. Even though she wasn't feeling well, she laughed through the whole thing, and was all smiles when she was telling me about So-So's adventures! I'll be following up with more books in this series.

I enjoyed the characters and fun illustrations in this story, especially the engagement of the pictures on the wall. Caruso was my favorite! I too have a frolicsome tuxedo cat. It was interesting to read in the author's biography that this story was inspired by her family and life events.

Super Sleuth is Cou-Cou and she tries to practice her skills among her family members. Her Abba, which is her aunt owns a cat, Caruso. She is most important person in the story. Cou-Cou has one thought on her mind and is determined to get it without anyone knowing. It was a nice story to read.

I read the kindle version of this book. It was a cute story with wonderful illustrations! I did have a hard time following the story. The video, that goes with it, was amazing and clarified the story for me. It was a bit difficult to follow who was saying what in the book.

I love the animation that goes along with the story, very creative and really brings the book to life. I could see kids wanting to watch it over and over again.
