This book could either be used as just a fun read in the classroom or when learning about real life detectives. The teacher could have a detective come into the classroom and explain about how the job works. After the detective works the children could do a role play and act out a crime then have the "detective" try to solve it. The students could also do a scavenger hunt after this book in any of their subjects.
