Reviews

[Leslee Robinson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is about a cat and dog that are detectives. Their owner is a detective and they protect the house while he is gone. They even help catch a thief on the lose! Its a very fun book to read and has really colorful pictures. It is also written in poetry format so that the story flows really well and is fun for kids to read.
