I think this is an excellent book for children and to my surprise it added additional features at the end of the story.

This "Who Did It" story leaves little clues that build curiosity very nicely with an excellent and intriguing ending. I also felt the illustrations were colorful, bright, and exceptionally well done.

All in all, it is very well done and enjoyable to read or read to a child. Highly recommend it!


It was my pleasure to receive a free copy of this book but that does not in any way affect my opinions in this review of this exceptional book.

It’s creative, energetic, and a great choice for families who like books that spark both imagination and movement.

This is a cute book for the young amateur sleuth. The pictures are eye-catching and the text will keep the child reading to discover the clues along the way until the final pages when “the thief” is uncovered. And there is a bonus...with games to play in the back of the book.
