Little ones don’t just listen. They point, shout answers, act things out, and turn back the pages to check. That’s the whole idea.
Clue cards
A question on each page sends your child back into the picture to look closely and find the answer.
Detective games
Roar like a lion, take a brave breath, count the cookies. Little moves that turn story time into play.
Where’s Sprout?
A little reindeer hides in the pictures. Kids love hunting for him and shouting when they find him.
A kit to keep
Each book ends with a kit of real-life tricks, a detective badge, and a craft to make together.
