Do You like book The Birthday Mystery (2005)?
Thanks for your post, Moeko. I think this is a cute series, and I wish I had a photographic memory like she does. As for your question, "Have you ever caught a thief?", I don't think that's likely to lead to much of a discussion. Probably, something like, "Have you ever lost anything or had something stolen?" would give your classmates something to talk about.

I liked this book, it was very engaging. I noticed the aspect that solved the mystery but was not sure. I like how this book helps the reader pick up on small details but still keeps the mystery going. I would keep this book on my classroom library shelf as a fun book for children to read and engage with. http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/bo...Interest LevelGrades 3 - 5Reading LevelGrade level Equivalent: 2.9Lexile® Measure: 390LDRA: 20Guided Reading: LType of Book: Chapter BookGenreMystery and SuspenseSeriesTheme/SubjectClevernessBirthdaysGrandparents and GrandchildrenFriends and Friendship
