This was the first time I read from the Jigsaw Jones mystery series. I thought it was really great since it was funny, light-hearted but involved a case as well. This helps expose children to beginning mysteries. This book also included a lot of great things about St. Patrick's Day and Irsish culture, such as limerick poems. This book would be great to read around St. Patrick's day and while studying limericks.
