Mr. MacGillicutty's Detective Agency: The Missing Mittens: The Missing Mittens

By Frederick Cohen

A missing pair of mittens. A very serious detective. And a mystery that may be closer to home than anyone expects.

When Danny's mittens go missing, it's no small matter. Winter is cold, and Danny is certain they didn't simply disappear.

Enter Mr. MacGillicutty-detective.

With his magnifying glass and notepad in hand, Mr. MacGillicutty approaches the case with the utmost seriousness. Clues are examined. Questions are asked. Possibilities are carefully considered. Nothing is too small when you are a detective.

As Danny, his sister Joyce, and their ever-patient mom look on, the investigation unfolds step by step-leading to a solution that is both surprising and delightfully familiar.

Told with warmth and gentle humor, The Missing Mittens celebrates curiosity, careful thinking, and the importance of paying attention to the little things. Perfect for reading aloud, it invites children to think like detectives while offering a reassuring reminder that even small mysteries can be solved.

The first book in the Mr. MacGillicutty's Detective Agency series.
