The Animal Detectives: Solve Nature's Wildest Mysteries

About this book

Join hare and tortoise detectives Harriet Whiskerton and Vince Van Shell as they crack cases involving suspicious animal behaviour. Who's been biting their fellow animals? Who stole the sugar from the cafe? Who's making that very loud humming noise? The detectives gather clues, interview suspects, and finally reveal the culprits.

This is an innovative, engaging way of presenting animal facts. Our main characters use real detective tools, such as crime-scene 'photos', suspect line-ups, evidence collections and more, to solve the crime. The crimes are varied - and do include some animals eating others, so sensitive souls beware! - and include extra 'curious cases' which offer more interesting info about different animals. The text has a chatty tone, with speech bubbles throughout, conveying a lot of bite-size facts. This irreverence is matched by the colourful, cartoon-like illustrations that manage to show animal details as well as depict characters. This is immense fun and packed with facts.
