A girl and her dog crack a very small mystery, narrated by the dog, who is sure he knows more than he does.
Kayla made a batch of dog treats for her friend's puppy, and now three of them have vanished. She and her dog King set out to figure out who took them.
It gives an Elephant & Piggie fan the same two-character, big-hearted, funny feeling but adds a real little puzzle to solve. Kayla lists what she knows and what she wonders on the page, so a new reader is learning how a mystery is built while they laugh at the dog.
