1-3Short Tales: Furlock & Muttson Mysteries series.
Furlock, a cat, and Muttson, a dog, are detectives in the tradition of Nate the Great, but with much less style. The two solve crimes (which are usually just misunderstandings), then drive off in the Furlock-Mobile. Very early chapter book readers will be able to handle the language and sentence structure; the colorful, innocuous cartoon-style illustrations may hold their interest. Review covers these Short Tales: Furlock & Muttson Mysteries titles: The Case of the Community Garden, The Case of the Grumpy Chicken, The Case of the Haunted House, The Case of the Missing Goldfish, The Case of the Mystery Museum, and The Case of the Shifting Stacks.
