King & Kayla and the Case of the Missing Dog Treats by Dori Hillestad Butler

King & Kayla and the Case of the Missing Dog Treats
by Dori Hillestad Butler, illustrations by Nancy Meyers
(King & Kayla #1) - 48 pages

"Kayla made peanut butter treats for Jillian's new puppy, Thor. But now the treats are missing.

"What does Kayla know? There are three treats missing. King was in the kitchen. King's breath doesn't smell like peanut butter.

"What does King know? There's an intruder in the house.

"How will they solve the mystery?"      --from the publisher

Beginning readers are difficult to write, and the stories can be pretty dull.  Butler does a terrific job engaging the reader by telling the tale from King's perspective, and the illustrations go perfectly with the text.  My great-niece and -nephews are going to enjoy this series.
