This book was released by Golden Books in 1990 to tie in with Disney's Dick Tracy movie. Although it has two logos on the front that sound like series titles ("You Choose the Way" and "A Catch-a-Crook Adventure"), I believe that it's the only book of its type.

My Thoughts: This is an appallingly bad book. First of all, there's no game at all to it; none of the choices affect the plot, they simply determine which character you read about... Adding insult to injury is the writing, which is about as bad as it could possibly be. This book has no redeeming features at all... Avoid it.
