About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their early reader needs a funny, high-interest story to build reading confidence, or for any child who loves a good mystery with a silly twist. In this forest floor whodunit, a fastidious mouse named Mouse discovers a mysterious poop in his home. Horrified, he dons his detective hat and, with the help of his more scientifically-minded friend, a shrew named Sluice, interrogates a cast of woodland creatures to find the culprit. The story cleverly wraps themes of teamwork, scientific observation, and perseverance in a package of delightful potty humor. It’s an excellent choice for kids aged 6-8, using laughter to make concepts like evidence-gathering and deduction accessible and fun.
