Sherlock Bones: #2 Sherlock Bones and the Sea-creature Feature written by Renee Treml, reviewed by Terry Wahrman

Summary: The octopus of the new ocean life exhibit at the natural history museum goes missing. The trio of sleuth detectives, Sherlock Bones, Watts, and Grace the chocolate loving raccoon are on the case. Visiting students stated they spotted a sea monster in the mangrove exhibit and several puddles are found around the smaller exhibits. Could there be a connection? 

Straight Talk for Librarians: This book is silly, light hearted and educational. It is written in chapters to make it easier to read with several chapters dedicated to the sea creatures. Introducing students to exhibits with live creatures and mangroves can be highly entertaining when mixed with humor. The sea monster is found out to be a lonely sloth who came in with the mangrove and the missing octopus is not missing, only camouflaging itself. This book could be used to motivate slower readers. Highly recommended.
