The Case of the Pretty Reflection is one of the first books to be introduced by Through the Keyhole books. Mary Joyner-Stoddard does an excellent job of telling stories with rhythm and rhyme. This particular story is simple and sweet. We all have seen a child trying to get to the other side of the mirror. The pretty reflection character has a short investigation. Of course, she solves the mystery.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see a small face with a cute little nose.
That could be me, don’t you suppose?
I’m sure it’s a girl in this shiny reflection,
with eyes that sparkle and a creamy complexion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just like Columbo, I’ll do some detecting
So I can find out whose face is reflecting.
With one eyebrow raised, I continue to ponder.
There may be a hint in the room over yonder.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a fun little book for your child to enjoy again and again.
