The Cookie Mystery · Visual logic and writing workbook, ages 4 to 6

Someone ate the cookie. In each case, three or four animals say where they were and your child has to place them in the house: one in each row and one in each column, like a picture sudoku. Under the board it says where the cookie was, and the animal in that square is the culprit. A visual logic and writing workbook for children aged 4 to 6: the clues are pictures and arrows, so no reading is needed.

16 mysteries across 5 levels of growing difficulty: it starts with direct clues and ends with cases of four characters, negative clues (where an animal was NOT) and clues out of order. Each case takes two pages: the animals with their clues on the left, the board on the right.

What's inside:

A rules page with examples (read it once), the animals with their letter to trace, 16 cases across 5 levels (3x3 and 4x4), a writing page at the end of each level (put the letters of the names in order, the missing letter, a word search), a detective badge per level to colour, cut out and stick on the diploma, the "biggest cookie eater" page, the expert detective diploma and the answer key.

Three files in your purchase: the full-colour book, the ink-saving book (same pages with white backgrounds) and a how-to-print guide. 44 pages, A4 (prints fine on US Letter). Print single-sided so both pages of a case sit side by side on the table, or print only the cases you want.
