This book is about animals all living in a community together who help a mother plan a surprise birthday party for Beau and Ivy by creating a mystery to solve to get them out of the house. While Beau and Ivy try and solve the mystery of the missing tricycle
they keep coming across other animals that share clues about the mystery tricycle while hiding presents, flowers, and cake.
I gave this book a five star rating because of everything that is written, drawn, and it is perfect for young kids!

Sending thanks to Cheryl Farnsworth, author and Goodreads First Reads Giveaway for the eBook Kindle copy of Beau & Ivy: Bear Detectives that I won in the Giveaway.
Uncle Beau and Ivy share the same birthday date and her family wanted to give them a surprise party. After asking the community for help, the family encouraged the two detectives (Beau & Ivy) to take the case of find a missing tricycle to keep them busy while the community worked together to plan and put the party together. It is a cute story.
My only problem with it was that the print was too small and it was difficult for my mature eyese to read it without my cheater glasses.
