Be a detective! Agatha is new to Kittyville, but that’s not stopping her from solving the mysteries that are taking place in town. Young readers are invited to join Agatha in her mission: look for clues, identify suspects, and come up with solutions! This illustrated interactive mystery with gatefold flaps is perfect for budding sleuths. —Synopsis provided by Twirl
Welcome to Kittyville! is an interactive read that asks readers to find clues and narrow down the suspects until the culprit is finally found.
The book features eight mysteries, each contained to eight separate gate-folded scenes. Each case includes facts, suggestions and clues. And the solutions to all the mysteries are at the end of the book.
As fun as the mysteries are, they wouldn’t work without author Paul Martin’s story and structure and Camille Roy’s detailed and colorful illustrations. The characters are inviting, and there’s a bit of humor sprinkled throughout.
Welcome to Kittyville! would be really fun to explore as a family or during one-on-one time between an older sibling, parent or grandparent and child.
