Can you solve the mystery before the final page? Find the clues, follow Casey's progress, guess who did it!
In This Case Is Slippery!, a young detective must follow the clues and solve the slickest mystery in the house! Casey is on the case, tracking down spills, slides, and slippery surprises at every turn. His mischievous pet cats, Toots and Sweet, are never far away... and always manage to look suspicious.
Using the 5 W's-WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, and WHY-kids learn how to think like a detective while having fun along the way.
Designed specifically for reluctant readers, with age-appropriate ewe! moments woven into the clues and reasoning process (not just for laughs!). Short sentences, a clear structure, and engaging illustrations support early literacy while encouraging problem-solving and critical thinking.
Features uncluttered pages, plenty of white space, and easy-to-read fonts-perfect for younger eyes.
Written by award-winning author Janice Garden Macdonald, creator of beloved children's books including The Red Sweater, this story is perfect for young readers who enjoy humor, mystery, and figuring things out for themselves.
Perfect for:
- Kindergarten to Grade 2
- Read-aloud (younger children)
- Early independent readers (ages 6-8)

A funny, fast-paced mystery kids will want to read again-and solve on their own!
