The Adventures of Captain Cutie Pie and Deputy Boo
Book 4: Christmas in July By: Denise Cole and Andrea Lurier
When the goats’ most treasured toy – a big red ball – disappears, emotions run high. The ball isn’t just a toy—it’s a family heirloom, passed down through generations, and the key to the goats’ favorite activity: “Play, play, play, every day, all day!”
Certain someone must have taken their ball, the goats are very upset and quickly turn to Captain Cutie Pie and Deputy Boo for help.
Determined to solve the mystery without accusing any innocent friends, our heroes decide to conduct a careful and thoughtful investigation. With help from Blue the Messenger, they soon discover a big red ball… But is it the goats’ big red ball? After all, as the goat Kiley wisely points out, there are a “quadruple zillion million” red balls in the world.
As Captain Cutie Pie and Deputy Boo gather clues and listen to everyone’s side of the story, they show the neighborhood that slowing down, asking questions, and being fair matter just as much as solving the mystery.
