Doyle and Fossey, science detectives, are available to solve mysteries with science. The books in the series include scientific information and information about experiments that kids can try out. Great for classrooms and kids interested in science.

A very clever idea of merging science with mystery in a way that will assist children to understand science min an engaging manner.
When I was a kid we had the curiosity show this series is for kids today and is a great idea and a decent read as well.
This is the first book in the series.

This book is ok to introduce scientific method but weak on exciting science. The kids gave it 4 stars.

Ok, so I'm not really giving this book 4 stars as far as story telling goes, I'm giving it 4 stars for being a great book for getting your kids turned on to science! The cases/experiments were easy for little ones to follow, and I LOVED the last sections of the book where they give you step by step instructions for doing some of the same experiments on your own, as well as how to make your own science lab and be your very own scientist! I read this aloud to all my kids (grades K, 3, and 5) and they all enjoyed it!
