The Case of the Missing Train by Carrie Heflin

The Case of the Missing Train by Carrie Heflin

The Smithsonian museums are places of wonder that spark curiosity in children of all ages! During the day, the halls are full of curious people who are exploring and learning. But at night, the halls belong to Officer Smitty and Owl. Together, they solve mysteries and help find important lost things -- like a toy train left behind by Harper. Join Officer Smitty and Owl on their hunt for the lost toy train and learn all about trains found in the National Museum of American History!
