Why read it?
1 author picked King & Kayla and the Case of Found Fred as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A boisterous dog named King is the narrator of this charming mystery series. He and his owner Kayla solve various puzzles: a missing ring, stolen treats, or in this case, a lost dog separated from his family. The books have an appealingly dog-like perspective, focused on smells, sounds, and food, with little sense of human concepts like time (e.g., King remarks that “nine or three days go by”). The straightforward mysteries have just the right complexity and drama for beginning readers.
From Elise's list on early readers with funny animal friendships.
