Precious and the Monkeys by Alexander McCall-Smith

A few years ago I got right into the 44 Scotland street series by  Alexander McCall-Smith. I haven't read any of the more recent series for adults and have been wanting to start the Ladies No.1 Detective agency series for along time. The main character in that series is Precious Ramotswe and this short chapter book for children details the how and why she became a detective.
This book is a quick read with illustrations to support the reader. It is on the NSW Premier's reading list for grades 3-4.
