The PC DIll Pickle series

about the books

If your little reader likes to join in during storytime, then the interactive PC Dill Pickle series is for them! The series is about a Police Constable (PC) pickle who cracks cases in the fridge. But here's the best part - he doesn't do it alone - he enlists the help of 3-6 year-olds to piece together the clues while a bunch of colourful characters point them in the right direction.

With rhyming words and creative storylines, these books are fun for children and their grown-ups to read aloud. Not only that, PC Dill Pickle books show kids that it's cool to be curious when faced with challenges instead of automatically being scared. The Case Of The Missing Bear is the first book in the PC Dill Pickle series, with book 2, The Case of the Scary Sound, now on bookshelves too!

what the fans say

reviews

  • ‘A colourfully illustrated mystery for young children filled with cool  ́fridge ́ characters! A RED RIBBON WINNER and highly recommended!’

    The Wishing Shelf Book Awards

  • Young children will find PC Dill Pickle and The Case of The Missing Bear by Hani Bruce entertaining. They’ll laugh and probably call out the character names. They’ll absolutely have fun spotting the clues.

    Reedsy Discovery (Editorial Review)

  • OMG this book was so fun! My youngest loved it! It was so interactive!

    Courtney (Aus)

  • Our Ava is loving this book, it’s her new favourite 👏😍

    SJ (Aus)

  • The story was charming and followed a structure my child found easy to follow. The illustrations are excellent and the everyday nature of the items has ignited a newfound interest in the grocery shopping and contents of the fridge!

    Ross (UK)

  • Loved it! Can’t wait for the next one!

    Arlette (Aus)

  • This is a super cute book with fun rhyming using food-type characters that are familiar to many children.

    Christine B (USA)

  • Love this series of children's books. The characters are funny and are items that children can recognise from their own fridges.

    Liz (Aus)

  • The rhymes in this are great. They have the necessary rhythm and there's enough repetition for a small person to be able to catch on to. The "decoy" sounds along the way are really cute. The pictures are lovely.
