(4) K-3 "International cat of mystery" William is called to help investigate the heist of the Mona Cheesa from a museum in Paris. Readers will enjoy following the clues throughout this picture-book mystery, thanks largely to clever details in Hancocks's pencil and gouache illustrations; what kids may not follow is the story's facetious parodying of high-art culture (and many famous paintings).
