The Detective Dog by Julia Donaldson - ADVISABLE

The Detective Dog by Julia Donaldson illustrated by Sara Ogilvie PICTURE BOOK Godwin Books (Henry Holt and Company) 2016 $18

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Nell is a dog who is great at solving mysteries - she finds lost things all the time! So, when the classroom library is stolen (yes, every book is gone) Nell is on the case following the trail and finding the culprit.

The is a sweet book about the joy of reading and libraries. The mystery is fun to solve and the children are adorable. I also liked that the story wasn't over just because the mystery was resolved; the school children turn it into a learning experience (yea teachers!)
