(3) PS Illustrated by Debbie Ridpath Ohi. In her second investigative case, Mitzi receives help from friends in the apartment building in determining whether her dad is sneaking vegetables into muffins. They collect evidence, examine it, and test their theory (it's carrots!). Subtle humor highlights preschoolers' ways of thinking in a relatable fashion that avoids being cloying. Expressive, black-outlined color illustrations depict a multiethnic community and emphasize a love of science.
