(4) 1-3 Doyle and Fossey, Science Detectives series. Illustrated by Barbara Johansen Newman & Barbara Johansen Newman. Drake Doyle and Nell Fossey, fifth-grade science sleuths, return to solve new mysteries. While the characters are two-dimensional and the cases solved with implausible speed, scientific concepts, such as bacterial growth and the science of pulleys, are clearly explained and cleverly woven into humorous vignettes. Expressive black-and-white line drawings and science activities and experiments are included.
