While visiting my mother's house for Thanksgiving last week, she pulled this book out to give to me, remarking on how much I'd loved it as child. I am SO THRILLED to have it again! I thought of it over the years every time I saw a basset hound. The illustrations really stuck with me all this time, especially the one with the dog on the steps, tongue molded down a few steps. This book is a classic, and I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to enjoy it. Now I'm going to check out the rest of the books in the series!

As a child I loved this series of "mystery" books featuring Jill and her best friend Gwen, who always carried her junior detective kit with her. In this story, Jill's droopy dog is kidnapped and the two scour the neighborhood for clues until the mystery is solved by tracking the kidnapper to a TV studio.

The illustrations are a delight, all punctuated with amusing captions. I sincerely hope this series is not lost forever, I would like to stock up for when I have children.
