Charlie Piechart and the Case of the Missing Hat

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Eric Comstock. Child sleuth Charlie must find a classmate's missing cone-shaped princess hat, which she needs for that evening's school play. The authors offer an easy-does-it introduction to three-dimensional geometric shapes without derailing the story's mystery engine. The art is retro-style with a twist: Charlie has a pie-chart torso, and the cast's skin colors include purple and blue. Activities and a seek-and-find challenge are appended.
