Follow the clues with Fox, Rabbit and Owl
Looking for logic puzzles for kids to print at home or for your own classroom? Join a gentle case-club challenge. This Animal Detective Logic Puzzle Book PDF for ages 6–9 offers clear rules, generous writing space and original black-and-white illustrations. Children sort, spot patterns, decode messages and use clues to find one answer.
Choose one page for a short activity or work through the cases at your child's pace. An adult can read the clues aloud and help explain a new puzzle type. The animal records are fictional: everything needed to solve a case is printed on its page.
