Gr 2 Up— Have you ever wondered what all the dogs are talking about when they get into a sniffing circle at the dog park? What if they are working to help solve a mysterious kidnapping? It may sound far-fetched, but this companion novel to The Great Pet Heist will have readers believing in the super sleuth skills of Butterbean the wiener dog. Accompanying Butterbean in his quest to rescue their feline friend Walt, is a charming menagerie of rats, a mynah bird, a goldfish, and an octopus. Marco, Polo, Oscar, Chad, and Leia join forces and take readers along a comical quest to determine exactly what happened after the commotion at the grand opening of the Plucky Hen supermarket. A fun class read-aloud or skill-building chapter book for struggling readers with illustrations that perfectly capture each character's personality. VERDICT A cute story with appeal to a wide range of audiences.
In this hilarious, high-stakes companion to The Great Pet Heist, The Great Ghost Hoax, and The Great Vandal Scandal, the pet friends take matters into their own paws—and tentacles—to rescue Walt and the white cat when they get catnapped.
The white cat, famous for being a spokes-cat for Beautiful Buffet Cat Food, is making a TV appearance at a supermarket opening, with Madison playing cat wrangler to the stars! The TV people want Walt, too, and everyone is excited for her to reach celebrity status—except Walt.
Unfortunately for the felines’ television debut, two cats loose in a supermarket is a recipe for disaster. Chaos erupts at the grand opening, and when the dust settles, the white cat and Walt are nowhere to be seen. They’ve been catnapped! The police are on the case, but their investigation isn’t moving fast enough to satisfy the cats’ worried friends. Desperate to get the snatched celebrities home safe and sound, Butterbean and the gang undertake a rescue mission of their own.
