Garbo and the Case of the Wet Footprints by Gretchen Cleveland

This was such a fun story! Garbo the investigator is a turkey with a wonderful knack for solving crimes. He’s funny but also serious about thinking through problems.

I loved the way Garbo encourages Jonah, his new friend to help him solve this mystery. He patiently waits while Jonah thinks through problems, and Garbo provides him with new ways to look at things. Best of all, when Jonah needs encouragement or to be rewarded for a good idea, Garbo is there with delicious rainbow marshmallows!

My daughter adored this book! She loved Garbo and his marshmallows. She also liked playing along with Jonah as he tried to solve the mystery. She loved looking at the clues and trying to answer Garbo’s questions. It became an interactive reading experience!

The entire story is really cute, and it’s well written. I know that children will enjoy this story again and again! It’s perfect for preschool through middle-elementary!

To Read or Not To Read:

I would recommend Garbo and the Case of the Wet Footprints for children that enjoy solving puzzles, and ones that like marshmallows😊.
