1-3Hilde Cracks the Case series.
Illustrated by
Joanne Lew-Vriethoff.
Nine-year-old "serious reporter" Hilde knows "being a reporter means going out and hunting down the news." As Hilde investigates a spree of baked-goods robberies (Hero) and tracks down a bear cub roaming the neighborhood (Bear), aspiring reporters learn relevant vocabulary and get an insider's scoop on the journalistic process. Pen-and-ink illustrations closely follow the texts, increasing accessibility. "Questions and Activities" are appended. Review covers these Hilde Cracks the Case titles: Bear on the Loose and Hero Dog!.
