The Case of the Singing Ocean

Scout and Daisy are on the shore watching the waves when they hear what sounds like singing, but there's no one else at the beach! Who is doing the singing? Join Scout and Daisy as they find clues to solve The Case of the Singing Ocean.

Perfect for inquisitive young minds, The Gumboot Kids' nature mysteries feature beloved characters, Scout and Daisy, working through a series of clues in order to crack the case. In each mystery Scout and Daisy affirm their findings with a trip to the library where they verify the evidence they've gathered in nature and solve the mystery before having a mindful moment to reflect on their journey.

With beautifully rendered and painstakingly detailed art, Scout and Daisy's adventures are also a visual feast that will have kids poring over the pages time and time again.

Each book concludes with two pages of field notes on the mystery subject, as well as a nature craft inspired by the mystery, for kids to try at home. (From Firefly Books)
