What a wonderful way to engage and entertain children and enhance cognitive and visual-discrimination skills at the same time. This book reminds me of Richard Scary Books. There is so much to look at and discover.
In this book series, the author presents a detective mystery that needs to be solved, while at the same time challenging the reader to find and identify objects hidden within the pictures. The first task is to find the possum hidden on each page. Then they are given a list of objects and people to find. Detectives need to find out who stole the birthday cake. In the following pages, readers are given information about people and objects that are associated with detectives and police work in solving crimes. They learn about the process from its inception to the arrest. After solving the mystery, young detectives are given a certificate of merit.
This book will hook elementary and middle school readers who love finding solutions. At the same time, they will build up vocabulary and enhance visual acuity.

A creatively drawn book about bear detectives who must solve the cake caper.It has special boxes that describe what they are doing and how it relates to our lives.There is a lot to see in this book and only reading it once is a crime in itself.
