About this book
Puppy, Turtle, and Cat set out to solve a very simple mystery: who took the cookies from the cookie jar? With repetitive, predictable text and bright cut-paper art, this Level 2 reader supports growing confidence and sight-word practice. Young readers will enjoy the playful suspects, easy clues, and the rhythmic refrain they can read aloud. It’s a light, fun introduction to mysteries for kids just starting to read on their own.
Setting: a cozy home and yard
