For mystery lovers big and small. The perfect first case for little detectives.

Hello, little detective! Let's solve a mystery together.

From suspects and motives to plot twists and clues, Little Bookworm: Mystery introduces young readers to the most intriguing elements of the mystery genre. With clear, playful language and engaging illustrations, this board book turns big ideas—like investigation, suspense, and surprise—into simple concepts perfect for curious minds.

Whether it's your baby's first case or your hundredth cosy mystery, this book is a joyful way to celebrate the genre with the next generation of sleuths and features a tribute to iconic authors like Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Gillian Flynn. Every great detective starts with a question—and every lifelong reader starts with a book.
