Book Reviews
"Fantastic Book! What an amazing adventure learning about butterflies through the Junior Detectives!
I Love that children can imagine themselves as the lead detective and be the lead in the story.
A fun and educational read!"

"Interactive children’s nature book about the life cycles of butterflies, a detective travels to tropical
forests to observe the insects in their natural environments. They reference the audience throughout as their co-detectives,
resulting in engagement. Along the way, butterfly-specific terminology is introduced, as are examples of the sheer
diversity of butterfly species, including the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), the enormous Queen Alexandra’s
birdwing butterfly, and the morpho butterfly."

"Tomé’s children’s book, the second in a series, is packed with interesting information not only about butterflies, but also ecosystems, including food chains and endangered species. Santos’ illustrations are vivid and cartoonish, and facts are presented through a simple storyline that invites the reader to investigate the forest as a fellow detective."

I'm thrilled to share about the captivating 2-part book series, "Adventures of the Junior Detective." The first part delves into the intriguing topic of hibernation across the animal kingdom, while the second part explores the enchanting lifecycle of butterflies. We purchased both for our son, and several extras for friends birthday parties. Not enough parents give books - we are ALWAYS thrilled when our son receives incredible books like the Jr. Detective to pique his curiosity! Perfect for independent reading by grade1, 2 and 3 students or for a cozy storytelling session with parents, grandparents, or caregivers. For those seeking a beautifully illustrated and educational read, I highly recommend this series by author Chantal Tomé. Don't miss out on the chance to meet the author at book signings and readings in southern Ontario. Calling all Jr. Detective enthusiasts! Chantal - we CANNOT wait to see what the 3rd installment brings. In the meantime... I'm off to taste things with my feet! (Jr. Detective fans, you know what I'm talking about.)
