From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-When the streambed dries up after a storm, the adorable detective mice set out to find the cause. Collecting clues of sticks and leaves, the young heroes ultimately discover what they suspected-a dam built up from the fallen debris. Parading as a simple picture book, this story unobtrusively demonstrates logic, deduction, and problem-solving skills, and teaches a little science along the way. Well-composed cut-paper collages in natural hues illustrate this mystery; the last page enlightens readers about storms and dams. Walsh successfully combines science and good storytelling to create a clever tale that will serve as a good discussion starter.
