Doctoroo (also known as Dr. Marsha Roo) and her team Kirby Koala, Louie Llama and Terence Toad may live in Australia, but they travel the world solving medical mysteries. In Doctoroo & the Case of the Picnic Pirates, they fly to the United States to find out why bear cubs in the Tumbling Potomac Pirates won't practice their somersaults, cartwheels, or handsprings. Will Doctoroo discover what is wrong? Will she have the answer in time for the cubs to perform on the Fourth of July, America's Independence Day?

My Review:

With fun animal characters, colorful pictures, and a food related mystery, Doctoroo & the Case of the Picnic Pirates is an engaging and entertaining book that teaches about healthy lifestyle choices. The Fourth of July picnic party is right around the corner, but the bear cubs known as the Potomac Pirates mysteriously get too sick to perform. The mayor of Bear Town reaches out to Dr. Marsha Roo for help. While Team Doctoroo tries to figure out the cause of the cubs' health issue, all the picnic foods are reported missing. Could the two cases be related somehow? Will the cubs be cured in time for the celebration?

As they follow Doctoroo's investigation, young readers get to learn the proper steps and methods to solve a mystery, including collecting clues, conducting interviews, and ruling out all the possible reasons. The problems the little bears encounter warn about the harmful consequences of excessive consumption of junk food. More importantly, the funny and upbeat Food Pyramid Rap contains useful information about what foods and drinks are good for our body and how to swap unhealthy snacks with nutritious alternatives. The book's whimsical and expressive illustrations add a great deal of humor and glamour to the intriguing story.

As a wonderful addition to the amazing Doctoroo series, this book will help young mystery lovers develop healthy eating habits, find joy in physical exercises, and bring their puzzle-solving skills to the next level.

Doctor Marsha is a series created to entertain children at the preschool through grade school level relying on educational content. The main character, Marsha, will introduce kids to exciting challenges in basic health education as the series explores the world, vanquishing health problems. It is my hope that the characters will stimulate young minds by introducing them to a positive, professional figure that embodies the spirit of cultural competence, creativity, and adventure.

My Review:

Dr. Marsha and the Case of the Missing Hot Dogs and Marshmallows is the first book in the Doctor Marsh series featuring a smart, versatile kangaroo who is a doctor, a nutritionist, a pilot and a detective. One morning, Dr. Marsha receives a letter from her cousin, Milton Marsupial, mayor of Washington D.C., asking for her help to solve a mystery. All the hot dogs and marshmallows in the city are missing just a week before the Fourth of July celebration! Along with her friends Terrance Toad and Louie Llama, Dr. Marsha flies all the way from her home in Australia to the United States to lead the investigation. Soon after meeting with the brightest animals in DC and gathering clues from them, the team finds out who is responsible for the missing food items, but is faced with an even bigger challenge. Will they be able to come up with the perfect solution?

Weaving mystery, adventure and humor into one intriguing story, the book is sure to charm many curious young minds. As they travel and explore with Dr. Marsha, the readers get to know indigenous animals in different parts of the world, how they differ in their food preferences, the logical steps to conduct an investigation, a few famous landmarks in the U.S. capital, and most importantly, what constitutes a healthy lifestyle. They are encouraged to grow into observant, analytical, and creative problem solvers, and constructive team players.

The colorful, expressive illustrations contribute a great deal to the cuteness of the characters. My boys' favorite is the funny cane toad, who learns to enjoy healthy alternatives to his favorite junk food. The series is informative, educational, and entertaining. It would make a great gift for little animal and mystery lovers. My kids can hardly wait to read about the case to crack in the next book of the series.

Meet Bare Skin & Win A Trip To Hawaii

Let me introduce to you Leslie Blodgett Perfume Diaries, a limited edition fragrance collection created exclusively for Sephora and inspired by the personal diary of Leslie Blodgett, CEO of Bare Escentuals and Mineral Goddess.

Bare Skin, the first scent in the series, was released exclusively on Sephora.com on 10/8/09 and hit store shelves one week later. The scent is reminiscent of Leslie's care-free trip to Mexican beach, which was filled with joyful memories of warm rays, umbrella drinks, and sleeping-in. Created with the help of celebrated Givaudan perfumer Stephen Nilsen, Bare Skin brings you "an intoxicating medley of creamy sensuality, dreamy florals and sexy musk". The line is available in an Eau de Parfum ($55), a Solid Perfume Compact ($35), and a Perfumed Body Cream ($30).
To celebrate the new launch, Leslie Blodgett Perfume Diaries is hosting an exciting contest on Facebook. Post a solo travel photo along with a diary-entry caption on their Facebook wall, and you could win a 5-night, 6-day trip to Hawaii or an entire Bare Skin collection. The contest runs for a week between 10/16 and 10/23. Don't miss your chance to win!
