The Making of a Detective
$19.95
4 STARS-plus. To get my 5 STARS the book has to be one I'll keep and read again a few times because it's so outstanding. But this is an interesting and enjoyable book. I call it a 'motel book' or 'cruise book.' Trust me, you can do alot worse. And I looked forward to reading it from the beginning. On the other-hand I work in law enforcement and I dont know anyone like Dave Carbone. Maybe it's just where I live, but around here the detectives step on their private parts more often than not, and it's frustrating to watch cases go up in smoke because of dum detectives and dummer judges. I hope Dave is for real.

Detective Hat & Pipe
$3.99
...you can't beat the price of this set. My mystery-loving daughter is thrilled with it! She even wears the hat as a fashion statement sometimes, and gets many compliments on it! I don't see it as an educational toy, exactly, but she did learn that the hat is a deerstalker and the pipe is a calabash pipe! Those are pretty good vocabulary words for an eight-year-old.

Detective Science: 40 Crime-Solving, Case-Breaking, Crook-Catching Activities for Kids
$12.95
This book contains fantastic activities that can easily be done inside a classroom. They are easy to understand and lots of fun for kids. I developed a mystery unit using this book, and my students loved it.

Scientific Explorer's Mystery Detective CSI for Kids Science Kit
$19.99
I liked Mystery Detective because I liked "catching" the criminal. It was easy to do and follow. The ingredients that I needed were easily found in my house. I had to do a CSI report at school and this helped me get a good grade.
