ENGROSSING READ FOR KID DETECTIVES!!

I can't believe this book is still available! I remember reading this book when I was in elementary school. To be honest, I can remember reading and reading and reading it countless times until I knew every page and picture by heart! I still have my family's fingerprints that I took using the book's instructions (about 20 years ago!). I also remember making my mom pretty mad when I dusted everything in the house for fingerprints (again, using the book's instructions). I think that any child, boy or girl, will really love reading this. They'll start looking for mysteries and detective work everywhere! If you can find an old audiotape/book titled "Mrs. Wigglesworth's Secret," probably long out of print, it is the perfect companion to this handbook. If I still remember all the fun I had with this book after more than 20 years, you see what I mean!
