Advantages: Entertaining Disadvantages: Not sure about Everett, weak story, set in the wrong period
Sherlock Holmes is fast succumbing to his drug habit when a new case takes his interest, and, with the help of Dr Watson, he manages to pull himself together enough to work on the case. A number of girls from wealthy families are going missing, later found dead. All the girls appear to be young and innocent, yet someone obviously wants them wiped off the face of the earth. Then one young girl manages to survive the kidnap. Can she lead Holmes and Watson to the murderer? And will the latest forensic advances help them on their way?

They're doing full rehearsals right now, and they're... well, they're a bit messy really! Old Eamonn's on board now of course, he seems like a nice sort of a man. Massive though. He's a giant among...midgets.
How many sick days ...
Advantages: Helps children learn how to put words together Disadvantages: Not enough letters can be frustrating.
***Background***
Early Learning Centres have been around for a long time now and they are well known for making sure that a toy is suitable because of learning through imagination and play. They have a wide range of products from wooden play sets to jigsaws and various games that encourage children in a back to basics way.
***What's In The Box***
It tells you on the front of the box that there are 28 picture cards and 92 letter pieces inside. Each piece is roughly a two-inch square with a jigsaw style shape to them on the left and right sides so that any two letters or pictures can be joined up together.
The picture cards all have the word spelled out underneath the picture and this is to help children learn to spell the words. Each of the 92 letters is written in lower case with large red lettering. These really stand ...
