Discover the truth behind nature's most puzzling behaviour in this colourful and comical collection of over 20 detective-themed case files.

Step into the shoes of an investigator and join animal detectives Harriet Whiskerton and Vince Van Shell as they explore the natural world and examine its suspicious behaviour!

Who or what is keeping everyone awake at night and disturbing the peace? Who is responsible for the burglary at beach café? And who left a stinky surprise in the park, vandalizing the lovely scenery? Each case invites readers to learn amazing facts about animals and their habitats, while uncovering the science behind each crime. From tropical beaches and lush forests to urban streets and even the depths of the ocean, kids will explore a range of animals and their habitats.

This engaging educational reference book encourages young readers to think like a detective in order to discover the secrets of the animal kingdom. Featuring crime-scene photos, suspect line-ups, witness interviews, evidence collections, surveillance footage and much more.

There are also 'Curious Cases', which showcase some of the weirdest and most wonderful reports from Harriet and Vince's incredible crime library. From creatures that are masters of disguise to animals who are champions of thievery, there's plenty to explore.

This fun collection of detective-themed mysteries is perfect for kids who love nature and exploration.
