Officer Panda: Fingerprint Detective is the first picture book for author and illustrator Ashley Crowley. Follow the adorable officer on his day as he tries to solve the mystery of giant fingerprints being found everywhere. The extra fun part is kids get to find these fingerprints on each page!
Hello, I’m Officer Panda.
I’ve noticed some strange fingerprints in my neighborhood.
Have you seen anything unusual?
Can you please help me solve this case?
Ashley Crowley received his BA in graphic design and worked in London at Arena and GQ magazines as a junior designer, he eventually pursued a career as a police officer just like Officer Panda. However, his passion for art has never subsided. He recently earned his MA in children’s book illustration at Cambridge School of Art, and this is his first picture book. Ashley now lives in beautiful Suffolk, United Kingdom, with his little boy, Frankie. This is a short book so it is extra great for young ones with short attention spans and it has a cute story where you follow the fingerprints. At the end you do get to find out who is the culprit!
