The Mystery of the Missing Shoes - Eliana Cardoso - Bog

Here is the story of the mysterious theft of Minnie-the-Chicken's pink slippers, which occurred during a grand carnival ball in the Lion King's castle. Animals from around the world had come in disguise: a mouse as a Ninja, an elephant as a zebra, Snoopy as Pierrot, a giraffe as Harlequin, the Big Bad Wolf as a Pirate, and many more. In the middle of the celebration, a storm broke out, causing the castle to become engulfed in darkness. During the power outage, Minnie-the-Chicken's pink slippers vanished. Sherlock Holmes will be the one to solve the case. This story is set in a very Brazilian atmosphere, with the carnival, the bright colors, and the focus on dresses and shoes --just like the 3 days of the Brazilian festival in February. It is an enticing thriller for young readers of all ages. It is easy to read and educational, teaching kids about Picasso, the Louvre, and legendary characters such as Sherlock Holmes.
