SERIES THURSDAY: King & Kayla and the Case of the Lost Tooth/King & Kayla and the Case of Found Fred by Dori Hillestad Butler


ABOUT THE BOOK

Kayla places her tooth in a Tooth Fairy pillow, but it disappears before the Tooth Fairy has a chance to visit--can her dog King help Kayla find the missing tooth?

REVIEW

When Kayla can't find the tooth she lost, King helps her search for it.  As with the other books in this series, King tells the story and shares information with the reader that Kayla doesn't know.  This is kind of fun for the reader who now knows more than one of the main characters.  It's fun to then take the information and try to solve the mystery.  The book also teaches basic problem/mystery solving in addition to providing a fun story.  Even though King solves the mysteries with Kayla's help, he still manages to behave like a dog as he tells us all about his favorite things.  This is a delightful early chapter book series for young readers who enjoy dogs, mysteries, or great friendships.


ABOUT THE BOOK

A lovable dog helps his human girl solve a mystery.
King, Kayla, and Grandma find a dog who has lost his human family. What does Kayla know?--This dog doesn't have a collar or any tags. He can sit, lie down, and shake hands. No one around here knows who he is. What does King know? --The dog's family is staying at a campground. Can they figure out who he is and where his family is?


REVIEW

King and Kayla are staying with Kayla's grandmother in a cabin by a lake.  When King comes across a lost pup, the two set out to find his home.  But it's going to take more than Kayla's observation skills to find where the pup belongs, it's going to take King's nose and ability to communicate with the lost dog.  As with the other books in the series, Butler takes the reader on an enjoyable journey with King providing his usual amusing commentary and insights.  Young readers are bound to enjoy this glimpse into the friendship of a young girl and her dog as they use their problem-solving skills to help those around them.
