Description

This Flip Book gives the owner two fun mysteries for the price of one. I really enjoy how the conversation and competitive spirit between the classmates in Mr. Merlin's class make the story come to life. Who will be the first to solve the mystery? I also like the scientific facts written into the story, and the activities available for the reader to do once they have finished reading. Once the reader finishes Volume 1, they can flip the book and read Volume 2 on the other side. How fun! ~Judy

Publisher's Description of Clue of the Left-Handed Envelope/Puzzle of the Pretty Pink Handkerchief (Third Grade Detectives)

Mr. Merlin's Third Graders are known as the Third Grade Detectives -- with some hints from secret code clues and help from Mr. Merlin's friend, the police scientist Dr. Smiley, they help solve cases. This two-in-one flip book contains the full text and illustrations for the first two Third Grade Detectives books. In their first case, The Clue of the Left-Handed Envelope, the Detectives find out who has been sending Amber Lee anonymous letters. And in their next case, a dirty handkerchief provides a clue to who's been trespassing in Todd's tree house.
