Here were a few more fun episodes in the A to Z mystery series for children.  The mysteries were very age appropriate and the characters were fun.  I particularly enjoyed the Ninth Nugget" where the kids went to a dude ranch.  The main issue I had with this set was from the adult perspective--the police broke a lot of procedures particularly with regards to chain of evidence.  I guess that doesn't matter much to children though."
