A Valentine’s Day chase for a missing box of chocolates

A stolen box of chocolates sends Dog Detective Cluehound and Sergeant Squirrel racing after a speedy culprit. The rhyming pursuit moves through Valentine’s Day settings, including a chocolate shop and a restaurant, while the artwork hints at the thief’s identity before Cluehound catches on. The story’s central joke rests on that gap between what the reader can see and what the detective knows, giving the chase a playful mystery structure.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children who enjoy rhyming stories and comic detective chases.
  • Young readers interested in Valentine’s Day stories, chocolates, and a hinted-at mystery.
  • Fans of the Stop That! series and its characters Cluehound and Sergeant Squirrel.
