My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Absolutely adorable kids mystery book! It makes for a great bedtime read for children. Both my kiddos enjoyed reading it with me to their niece and nephew. It was a hit with all four kiddos so I call that a major win! Reading it and listening to the kids try to solve the mystery alongside the trio in the book really showcased how great the story was.

Dylan is back with his sister Emily and their dog Theodore. It is time to play ball except something important is missing from the field. The home plate and bases! Never fear, our trio of detectives is there to solve the mystery!

Another wonderful book for young readers. Again, as with the first book it’s such a great way to introduce younger readers to chapter books and continuing series books. The characters in the story are really relatable and the plot was easy and clear to follow. Dylan and his little sister, Emily, are on the case of missing bases. This book is great for capturing children’s imagination as they will be able to find and try to work out clues along with the main characters in the story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the second in the series and it just as fun and entertaining as the first one. It was great to revisit these characters and be taken on more adventures with them. My kids absolutely loved this story, probably even more so than book 1. The illustrations in the book really bring it to life. It makes it so much easier to visualise the characters and the story overall.
This series are the first books that we have read by this author but, if they are any indication as to what to expect, then I think we will become much more familiar with their work. This is a fantastic book that the whole family enjoyed.

Detective Dylan, Emily and Theodore the family dog are back at it. They never leave home without Dylan’s Detective Kit. But this time they are off to play baseball. Once they get to the ball field they notice the baseball plates are missing. So they go in search of the missing plates. First off let me put out there that this story is not only educational but brings together siblings. Yes this big brother enjoys spending time with his little sister. As for Emily she is a big help as the team works together. This author has done quite nicely in bringing these siblings together. This story is quite the page turner. It is captivating and interesting. The characters also play big parts in the story.They set a great example to our young readers. Also at the end of this chapter book there is a list of big words with explanations of the words and where to find them in the story. I love that! I love an open-ended story. This one is fantastic.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a very enjoyable book! Young readers who are learning to read in small chapters will love this story about Dylan and his little sister Emily. They are going to baseball practice and when they arrive, their coach explains that all the bases have been stolen. Dylan thought to grab his Youth Sleuth kit prior to leaving home so he and Emily are on the lookout for the stolen bases. They come across various groups of people in the park before finally locating the missing bases.

A super fun, adventurous book that features Theodore, who is Dylan and Emily’s dog. He’s also a part of their sleuthing team! It’s short enough to keep the attention of an emerging reader and would also make a great bedtime story!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The latest installment of the Detective Dylan series has Dylan, Emilie and their dog searching for the bases to their baseball field. This is a cute story that has children using their creative skills to figure out where they can be. The birthday party? The toddler pirates? Who might the culprit be? My grandson and I giggled through this story. He enjoyed the mystery. I enjoy the fact that he is able to work on his language and reading skills as we read the story together. In searching for clues, kids will also be able to learn some basic math. It’s really a fun story that has some educational value that they don’t realize because the story is so entertaining. Our favorite part was the toddlers asleep on the equipment. We will be eagerly awaiting the next book.

It is the summer holidays and Dylan is waiting by the mailbox for a very exciting and very important package, it is his detective kit from the Youth Sleuths, his favourite show.

As Dylan unpacks the kit with his little sister, she just will not stop talking and asking to use it as well, so he says she can be his assistant, as soon as they have a crime to solve.

Just as they are wondering what their first case will be, the neighbour next door comes out to her mailbox and finds that her mail is missing, and this is just what Dylan needed, his first case, but can he, his little sister and their adorable dog find the clues, solve the mystery and catch the culprit?

This is a lovely story for and children who are always exploring the world around them and have a love of mystery, as well as puzzles and treasure hunts, as they read along and become a detective alongside Dylan.

This was a great book to read with both of my kiddos! I have an 8-year-old and 12-year-old, and we really enjoyed reading this together. It was a perfect fit for my youngest as he sometimes gets bored by chapter books because he still enjoys the pictures. We were pleased to find that there are lovely illustrations that broke up paragraphs and chapters to keep our interest. It’s fun to hear how everyone’s imagination works as we read through and played detective on our own! I highly recommend this fun and engaging story that is easy to follow, and we can’t wait to see what the next book brings!

Detective Dylan was a super cute, fairly easy read for a young child. I have two kids the ages as the siblings (Dylan and his younger sister, Emily) and enjoyed them solving the mystery together! There was definitely some sibling bickering in the beginning, which I feel like most children will relate to, and Theodore, the dog, as the sidekick was perfect!
Some of the things I really loved about this book was a few themes about not giving up and looking at all of the clues. They really did a great job “solving the case” and this is definitely a book I’ll have my kids read! I see many potential Detective Dylan books in the future!

Super cute to read to younger kids and ask questions or for older kids to read alone.

Who doesn’t love a good detective book? I’m sure many of us read Nancy Drew growing up! I love Detective Dylan books, and this one is no exception. The author provides a story that is entertaining, fun, and mysterious. In the case of the missing mail, Dylan, his sister, and a lovely dog set out on their next mystery. Of course no story is complete without a bit of ruckus to follow. I remember growing up and reading chapter books for this first time, and this book is the epitome of that core memory for me. You just can’t go wrong with a good detective book as a solid starter series!

Detective Dylan and the Case of the Missing Mail is a cute story about an eight-year-old boy named Dylan who is super excited about becoming a detective over the summer and solving mysteries. After receiving a parcel in the mail that contains his new Super Sleuth Spy Kit, he sets off with his little sister Emily, that he lovingly refers to as Tattle Tale, and their beloved pet dog, to solve the case of the neighbor’s missing mail. They set off knocking on their neighbor’s doors, asking questions, and gathering evidence such as fingerprints. This was an engaging and fun chapter book that teaches children about teamwork, problem solving, and family. The book contains black and white illustrations throughout that help to bring the story to life and keep the attention of young readers.

Dylan, his sister Emily, and their dog Theodore are on a case of missing mail. Mrs. Bloom went out of town and usually she has someone check her mail while she’s gone but she forgot this time. Dylan, Emily, and Theodore become detectives and try and track down who done it. They follow all the clues, question the neighbors and even the kids in the neighborhood. They were able to half solve the mystery, but the mail was returned.

Who didn’t want to be a detective when they were younger? I know that I did, and this is a story that opened so many doors for thought. This is a cute story about Dylan and how his little sister Emily grow closer, especially when they have to learn to work together. Dylan wants nothing more than to be a detective, he has saved his allowance to pay for a detective kit. Dylan has even watched every episode of Youth Sleuths so he can learn how to be a good detective. This story is well written and easy for the little ones to follow and enjoy. I loved that the author answered the readers’ questions at the end, and that she thought to add a new word to each chapter. Later, she puts a vocabulary list from the book and the definitions at the back for the little ones to continue to learn. This is a great start to this series, and I look forward to reading what comes next for Dylan and Emily.

Dylan loves a show about detectives called ‘Youth Sleuths’ and wants to be one himself. After saving his allowance he ordered a detective kit. When the kit came in he was eager to begin his new job. When he finds out his neighbour’s mail is missing, he jumps on the case with the help of his little sister and dog.

Dylan and his sister run around the neighbourhood looking for clues, they start off by asking the adults around the street, then moving on to the children. Will they be able to solve the case of the missing mail?

This book was very fast paced which would keep children engaged from start to finish. I also like the relationship between Dylan and his little sister. Even though she is younger, he still tries his hardest to include her in his game. Plus the dog was cute and funny.
