This Case Is Slippery

By Janice Garden Macdonald

Can you solve the mystery before the final page?

Casey just slipped on something gooey-and his cats, Toots and Sweet, are looking awfully suspicious.

In This Case Is Slippery , young detective Casey follows the clues through spills, slides, and slippery surprises to discover what really happened. Using the 5 W's-WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, and WHY-kids can investigate right along with him and try to crack the case before Casey does.

Funny, fast-paced, and packed with colorful illustrations, this mystery was created especially for beginning and reluctant readers. Short sentences, plenty of white space, and an easy-to-follow story make reading fun while encouraging observation, reasoning, and problem-solving.
