Young Cam Jansen and the Pizza Shop Mystery
Kindergarten-Grade 2-Another entry in this series of beginning chapter books. Here, Cam, her father, and her friend Eric are eating pizza at the local mall when Cam's jacket disappears. She uses her photographic memory to put all the pieces of the puzzle together and solve the case. The bright cartoonlike watercolors that appear on every page reflect the action and illustrate the pictures in the young detective's head. Adler also includes a memory game in which readers examine a picture and then turn to the back of the book to answer a list of questions about it. Although there isn't much of a mystery to solve, this title may be useful for collections in need of easy-readers.DeAnn Tabuchi, San Anselmo Public Library, CACopyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
