We have all had one of those days where it seems everything is going wrong. Children have those days too. As humans, of any age, we are going to experience hard days. Then we have good ones. It makes the bad days not seem so awful.

When a mother takes her child for a visit at the doctor’s office, the child protests, “But I’m not sick!” Thanks to a wise mother and a kind doctor who explains the entire process, the child enjoys the visit and looks forward to the next well child checkup.

We have always been a fan of the Sleuth & Solve books in our home! I love that they keep making new mystery books and this is their newest. The Sleuth & Solve: Science edition has 20+ mind-twisting mysteries to solve. There lies a mystery or puzzle to solve on every page and the answers are under the flap, so no spoilers until you lift and see.

The mysteries require science, technology, engineering, and math concepts to solve. There is a scientific explanation and ideas for STEM experiments included. This book series, from Chronicle Books makes a great gift for science and mystery lovers ages 8-12.
