I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute book. The pictures are bright and attention grabbing. The investigation helps kids to learn colors and shapes, etc. I recommend.

A Fox and Goat Mystery series is a great one for little ones. They are detectives and through investigation discuss colour, size, shape, texture etc. to describe the missing object. In this story they also learn about different occupations using headgear. It is a mystery for our youngest book lovers as well as teaching them investigative questioning and descriptions. Lots of new vocabulary in a fun way. The illustrations are simple and large to support the text. My granddaughter liked answering the question, "Is that the hat?" that started each two-page spread. The only word we didn't like was aviator, we wanted to call it a pilot. A great book for any preschool, kindergarten classroom or home library.

What a delightful book. The images and artwork is modern and clean while the story is genius. This book would work well as a teaching tool for an array of things including colour and shape. An added bonus would be that in another edition it was a tactile story.

Amazingly illustrated and a lovely story. A great way to learn shapes. I really liked this book, my 3 year old son did too. He's fascinated with hats and loved the detectives. One to purchase, I'd love to see more!

My 5 year old daughter and I enjoyed this book a lot. It reminded me of Jon Klassen's I Want My Hat Back, but was different enough to be its own story. I liked the style of the artwork and the bright colors.

I suppose it’s not really much of a surprise that I requested this one on account of the fact that it features a fox. <i>The Vanishing Baseball Cap</i> by Misti Kenison is a decent and short story about a young boy who loses is baseball cap at a museum and the two Detectives, Fox and Goat, set out to find it.  An introduction to mysteries and deductive tactics, I definitely think this is a book that will work well for young children.

I personally didn’t love the story. It was pretty simple, following a fairly typical pattern for a lot of children’s books. I can see where it is beneficial and I definitely appreciated the piece of it that supported developing critical thinking and reasoning skills for young kids. Of all the things I liked about the book, it was this that I liked the most.

Overall, the artwork is engaging and well-done, but nothing ever really stands out about the work as a whole. The character of Daniel is barely there, which I think takes away a little bit from the whole thing. All in all, this was a cute story that I would definitely consider getting but not one that I really see myself exceedingly impressed with.
