The Case of the Missing Donut

32 pp. | Dial | July, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8037-3925-3 $16.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Isabel Roxas. In a crime caper for the picture book set, a boy ("the sheriff") and his dog ("the deputy") must escort a box of a dozen donuts home from the bakery. One donut goes missing. The snappy text plays it straight, while the illustrations, drawn with graphite and colored digitally, hold the evidence that allows the reader in on the joke.
