Stop, Thief!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Pierre Pratt. Charged with catching the thief who has been stealing all the farmer's "carrots, berries, beans and cherries," Max the dog suspects a tiny blue bug and overlooks the obvious culprits: a rabbit, a pig, a goat, and some crows. The text is overlong and somewhat belabored, but the story plays out nicely in impressionistic gouache illustrations on saturated double-page spreads.
Reviewer: Rebecca Reed Whidden
