Know any children’s picture books about solving mysteries?
I am a preservice teacher, and I’m writing a science lesson about taking fingerprints. I need to find a picture book to read to the students before the lesson that will lead into the lesson.
Do you know any picture books (short, that wouldn’t take too long to read) that deal with the characters solving a mystery? It has to be a story book, not a nonfiction book. If it has fingerprinting in it, that’s great!
Thank you!
You could check into some of these, perhaps one will be just what you need.

Meet Joe Black: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack $6.70 Meet Joe Black, director Martin Brest’s remake of the ’30s semiclassic Death Takes a Holiday, took widespread critical potshots for its three-hour length and laconic pace. Ironically, composer Thomas Newman’s score is a compelling exercise in musical economy–spare, emotionally longing arrangements where the spaces resonate almost as much as the notes. The composer (youngest son of the great film … |

Magical Mystery Tour (Remastered) $9.86 The album feels even more like a collection of singles (instead of an actual movie soundtrack) than Help! or A Hard Day’s Night, but maybe that’s because every song sounds like it could have been a hit single–with the natural exception of the goofy/weird instrumental “Flying.” Even George’s “Blue Jay Way” paints a vivid sound-portrait in fascinating detail. (I consider Joni Mitchell’s “Car on the… |

Videodrome (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] $24.99 Love it or loathe it, David Cronenberg’s 1983 horror film Videodrome is a movie to be reckoned with. Inviting extremes of response from disdain (critic Roger Ebert called it “one of the least entertaining films ever made”) to academic euphoria, it’s the kind of film that is simultaneously sickening and seemingly devoid of humanity, but also blessed with provocative ideas and a compelling subtext o… |

Master of the Mysteries $19.95 In 1919, a Canadian teenager with a sixth grade education arrived by train to the wilds of Los Angeles. Within a decade he had transformed himself into a world-renowned occult scholar.His name was Manly Palmer Hall, author of the landmark publication The Secret Teachings of All Ages, regarded as the best introduction to Western esoteric ideas, and the founder of the Philosophical Research Society, which houses one of the biggest occult libraries in the United States.Hall became the twentieth century’s most prolific writer and speaker on ancient philosophies, mysticism, and magic, and a confidant of Hollywood celebrities and politicians. In 1990, he died—some say he was strangled—in what remains an open-ended Hollywood murder mystery worthy of Raymond Chandler.Master of The Mysteries: The Life of Manly Palmer Hall offers an intimate portrait of this elusive luminary who set as his life’s work the daunting task of reconciling scientific reason with ancient wisdom—issues that seekers and scientists still struggle with today.Author Louis Sahagun draws from Hall’s massive archives and a wealth of interviews to provide an insider’s view of the birth of a metaphysical subculture that continues to have a profound influence on movies, television, music, books, art, and thought. |
