Reach for this book when your younger child feels like they are constantly in the shadow of an older sibling or when 'playing together' usually means the older child is in charge. This classic early reader follows Dobby, the younger Binky brother, who is technically a 'partner' in their detective agency but is often treated like an assistant by his older brother, Pinky. When a local mystery involving a missing catcher's mitt arises, it is Dobby's quiet observation and clever thinking that actually cracks the case. It is a wonderful tool for discussing fairness, the value of different roles in a team, and the importance of speaking up for your own worth. The story is told with humor and simple language, making it perfect for kids aged 4 to 8 who are navigating the tricky waters of sibling dynamics and budding independence.
