Joann and Jane is a darling picture book that has the capability to be used in multiple ways. Joann and Jane are sisters who are uncovering the mystery of the mess in their room. They move about their house interviewing their family members and looking for clues as to where the mess came from. After compiling all their evidence and theories, they finally discover who made the mess- and they learn a valuable lesson in the process.
I highly recommend this book. It can be used to teach responsibility, problem and solution, and text evidence based questioning. The dialogue is repetitive and fun, and the illustrations are very appealing. The final bonus of this book is the interracial family. What a great book!

Loved this book!
Joann and Jane are engaging miniature detectives in this delightful children’s book. The story and illustrations draw you in and create anticipation for what will come next. Who created the messes? Will the girls be able to unravel the clues? I think children of all ages will really enjoy this series.

The book, Joann and Jane: Who Made This Mess? is very cute. The two girls find a mess in their room and they don't know where it came from! They ask dad, mom and grandpa. Eventually, the figure it the culprit is the cute dog (who looks like a beagle!). However, it is because they left candy in their room that the dog went through and made a big mess. The girls end up taking responsibility and joke about starting their own detective agency.
The message is a good one that they tried to figure out what happened and then admitted their role in the mess. It was cleaned up and they learned their lesson. I'd recommend this book to kids ages 3-5.

This cute children's story is about a little girl waking up to a mess in her room and her and her sister investigating to find out who made the mess.
This book was cute, however the formatting on kindle was terrible and I had to squint and squint trying to read this book since the page was so small. Hopefully that gets corrected so it can be more easily read.

Two little girls play detective to find out who went into their rooms and made messes. Mom is more concerned with making breakfast, but grandpa offers some help.
At one point one of the girls lifts up the beagle’s ear and asks the dog if it was the culprit. When called on it, she says, “It was worth a try.” Adorable.
The story’s cute enough. The artwork is okay as well. Nothing is made about the family being mixed-race, which is as it should be.
3.5 pushed up to 4/5
