This book is funny, so many good one-liners makes it fun to read aloud. Plus, it just so fun to make it sound like one of those old detective shows.

J.J. Tully is a retired search and rescue dog and he's ready to relax and enjoy his retirement on the farm. But then two chicks and their mother show up on his doggy doorstep asking for help finding their missing siblings. With a cheeseburger on the line, J.J.'s on the hunt, but the clues aren't exactly adding up. 

A funny, easy mystery for early chapter readers.
