Reviews

Grade 3-6 CSI fans will enjoy these books' explanations, activities, and project suggestions that break down basic investigative techniques such as keen observation and code breaking (Who Can Solve the Crime?) and handwriting analysis and chromatography (Who Forged This Document?). A section on the scientific method and safety briefly introduces each book. Readers will learn about Sherlock Holmes and foolish robbers, and view hair under a microscope. The few color illustrations are instructional. Content is framed with boldly colored borders featuring designs such as subtle script. Who Can Solve the Crime? includes a chilling account of a murder that might not be appropriate for some of the younger readers in the grade range. S. McClendon, Friends School of Atlanta, Decatur, GA
