BR 2-13: Nate the Great and the Crunchy Christmas

“Every year, two weeks before Christmas, Fang gets a Christmas card from his mother in the mail,” Annie said. (p.3) 

I picked this book because I became a fan of Nate the Great series. When I saw the title of the book, I found a word “Christmas.” It is December now, so I thought this book was just right for this season. This story is about a boy who is a detective, and he solves the cases with his dog Sludge. In this story, his friend Annie came to him, and she asked him to solve the problem. Annie’s dog Fang got a Christmas card from his mother every year, but he has not received it yet this year. Nate the Great and Sludge have to do a lot of things, so they didn’t want to find clues and solve the case on the day. However, they are kind, so they tried to solve the problem with Annie and Fang. If you want to know the answer and the continuation of the story, please read it.

Also, this book has fun activities pages. First, there are explanations about snowfall, types of snow and Christmas catalogs. Next, it shows six fun things to do on snowy day. I want to try them if it snows this year. Lastly, it shows how to make four things. When you read them, you can know how to make potato pancakes, applesauce, Greeting cards and dog biscuits. I want to make them too. Reading these pages was very fun for me, so I want you to read it.
