My 6-year-old didn't like this book as much as "The Case of the Missing Goldfish".
Muttson (a dog) and Furlock (a cat) own a detective agency. In this story, Furlock needed to return books to the library so Muttson went too. When they arrived, the librarian, Mrs Beazley, was upset because books were mysteriously moving around in the library. She showed them different piles of books. Muttson wrote down the titles.
Eventually, Muttson asked who would read about rivers, ponds, worms, and wetlands (the first pile). Mrs Beazley said turtles would but she has to reach the books because they are too high for the turtles. The next group of books were for elephants but Mrs Beazley had to get them because the aisles were too narrow for the elephant to go down. Lastly, Mrs Beazley had to get the books for the giraffe's because they were on a low shelf.
Muttson asked Mrs Beazley if she has a new helper. She does! The new helper has been moving the stacks so the patrons can easily reach them. Case solved.

On the one hand, there was not much of a mystery. On the other hand, it was a little confusing what the mystery was. But a book where the detectives are called Furlock and Muttson? That makes it a winner in any case.
