This Case Stinks

By Janice Garden Macdonald

Can you solve the mystery before Casey does?

Something STINKS in Casey's house.

His mischievous cats, Toots and Sweet, are acting suspicious. Very suspicious. But are they responsible for the terrible smell-or is something else going on?

Grab your detective hat and follow Casey as he searches for clues, questions the suspects, and tries to solve the stinkiest mystery in the house. Young readers can play along, make their own guesses, and see if they can crack the case before the final page.

This Case Stinks is a funny, highly illustrated interactive mystery created especially for beginning readers. Short sentences, uncluttered pages and plenty of white space make the story easy to follow-even for kids who don't usually reach for a book.

And while they're busy laughing and solving the mystery, they'll also be learning to ask the detective's 5 Ws-WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN and WHY-and using clues to practice observation, reasoning and problem-solving.

Perfect for ages 5-8, including:
