Can you solve the mystery before the final page?
Casey just slipped on something gooey-and his cats, Toots and Sweet, are looking awfully suspicious.
In This Case Is Slippery!, young detective Casey follows the clues through spills, slides, and slippery surprises to discover what really happened. Using the 5 W's-WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, and WHY-kids can investigate right along with him and try to crack the case before Casey does.
Funny, fast-paced, and packed with colorful illustrations, this mystery was created especially for beginning and reluctant readers. Short sentences, plenty of white space, and an easy-to-follow story make reading fun while encouraging observation, reasoning, and problem-solving.

- Ages 4-8
