(3) 1-3 Doyle and Fossey, Science Detectives series. Illustrated by Barbara Johansen Newman. Using scientific principles, young detectives Drake Doyle and Nell Fossey solve four mysteries: gasping garbage, endangered frogs, a stuck truck, and an anonymous love letter. Lighthearted but not silly, the book models good problem-solving and concludes with suggested activities for the reader's own science lab. Black-and-white artwork and creative use of fonts enliven the presentation.
