A quick question

HSJRivers · Sep 29, 2007

Hi:

I usually hang out in the greeting card forum, but I also write for children. I have a rhyming picture book that has gotten a thorough and spot-on critique by a published author. Now, I need to find a picture book (rhyming or not)that has a mystery to solve so I can see how they use clues, and maybe get an idea on how to structure mine.

If you know of one off-hand, I would appreciate your passing it along.

Thanks so much. If it ever gets published, I'll have some of you to thank!!!!

All I can think of is one I read when little--I don't write picture books, sorry--called The Berenstain Bears and the Missing Dinosaur Bone. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0394844475/?tag=absolutewritedm-20 It's a mystery, and although there aren't TOO many clues, it's still exciting...a good book.

There's the I Spy series--matching clues to photos--don't know if that's what you have in mind or not.

My kids have an enormous set of Blues Clues books that they really like.

Many thanks for your suggestions. Paula Morrow saw my post on a SCBWI listserve, and added two others: The Eleventh Hour: A Curious Mystery, and The Shivers in the Fridge.
