I LOVED this book! Until seeing your packet, I was unfamiliar with it, but got 8 copies on ebay and amazon ued books and had a GREAT literature unit completely using your packet! It is very thorough with fabulous graphics and outstanding graphic organizers! I have been thrilled with this discovery and plan to get even more copies of the book by next year!

I stumbled across this book in the Scholastic book order. I had not heard of it either, but I wanted to give it a try because my classroom theme this year is mystery/detective. The kids absolutely loved the book! They had so many predictions for who they thought had stolen the Macho Military Mice. It was so cute! Some of my kids wanted to know where they could buy those little mice. :( I hated to tell them it was just make believe. I am so glad that your kiddos enjoyed the book too.

Just what I was looking for - We started our mystery unit & this is the perfect thing to go with a read aloud in our third grade class. Thank you!

Great! That book has been one of my kids favorites! There are others by the same author. My kids have been asking to read those as well. It's just a cute book! :) Thanks for your feedback.

I really really love this packet! I love that it is not the traditional chapter 1...questions and vocabulary...but a very different way of looking at the story! I am so excited about all that my kids are going to learn through your packet! :)

Can I buy multiple licences for Who is Stealing the 12 days of Christmas?

Yes, the best way to add the multiple licenses is by adding one unit to your cart. A pop up box will ask if you wish to buy multiple licenses. You can add the additional licenses to your cart. The licenses are at a discounted rate.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Nicole
