King & Kayla and the Case of the Secret Code

(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Nancy Meyers. Narrator King, an exuberant dog, introduces himself and his human Kayla in the initial two entries of a new early-chapter-book series. Each story is a mystery: Treats concerns the theft of some dog biscuits, and Code concerns a substitution cipher. Repetition both within and between books helps boost confidence in beginning readers, as do the generous, plot-reinforcing illustrations. Review covers these titles: King & Kayla and the Case of the Missing Dog Treats and King & Kayla and the Case of the Secret Code.
