K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Lynne Cravath.
This is a convoluted but amusing story about Big Max--the "world's greatest detective"--flying off to a tropical country named Ah-Ah-Achoo. King Punchapillow's giraffe has escaped, and Max finds him happily playing soccer. The comic sketches are full of entertaining details including Max in a Sherlock Holmes-style hat and coat and the king in bright red robes and headdress.
