(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sherry Rogers. A duck detective eliminates one animal suspect after another until he "quacks the case," deducing who stole a cake from a cake contest. In this story designed to introduce deductive reasoning, bad puns and misfired jokes get in the way of the narrative's agenda. The boldly colored illustrations will draw readers into the lesson. Two reasoning activities are appended.
