74 pp. | Random/Anchor | April, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-307-94944-8 $12.99 | Paper ISBN 978-0-307-74389-3 $6.99
(3) 1-3 This early chapter book features a young Precious Ramotswe, star of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series for adults. The mystery Precious solves--who is behind the thefts on the school playground?--is audience-appropriate; the prose style is welcoming; the Botswana village setting is evoked clearly. The page design is generous and inviting, with wide margins and plentiful spot illustrations.
