CDC is an excellent book for summer fun. It combines fun pictures with puzzle-like text, allowing readers to solve the “riddles.”
CDC is a hilarious and challenging new way to sit down and enjoy a book. By combining letters to make words in untraditional ways, CDC will stretch your brain! Here are a few examples for you to try out:

U F B-D I-S
The book is filled with excellent pictures to help as clues, and with 57 fun riddles, this book is sure to provide endless fun. Each page has a different riddle, and all the “answers” can be found at the back of the book. But, try to avoid the temptation to keep peeking to the back of the book for the answers! Oftentimes, the “answer” will become clear if only you give yourself an extra minute to figure it out!
Try reading it with your kids, or make it into a family game. It’s almost like detective work! Find out who is the best detective in your family! You might be surprised!
Okay, are you ready for the answers? (You haven’t been peeking, have you?)
C-D-C? = See the Sea?
E-R I M! = Here I am!
U F B-D I-S = You have beady eyes.
