When breaking glass and a scream interrupt a family picnic, Rooster and Squid spot a mysterious stranger fleeing the house next door. Now the unlikely dog-and-cat detectives must follow the clues and help solve their first Trout Springs mystery.
ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
Rooster, a handsome Golden Retriever who loves belly rubs and bacon, and Squid, a mangy grey cat who loves big naps and butt scratches, are an unlikely duo. Even though their early days were spent scrounging for food and seeking shelter, they knew they were meant for more. As luck would have it, they were rescued by the town veterinarian and welcomed into the best family ever.
Life with their new family is never boring. In Bowling Burglar, a family picnic in the backyard is interrupted by breaking glass and a scream from next door. As the mystery unfolds, Rooster and Squid are smack dab in the middle of the chaos.
Since they spend half their time at the animal hospital, Rooster and Squid also pass along important pet tips about bee stings, zinc toxicity, eyesight in dogs and cats, lizard tails, obesity, and little-known facts about lobsters and frogs.

Great book for young readers! I highly recommend.

Teacher Approved, Reluctant Reader Approved, Grandkids Approved. As a teacher, mom, and grandmother, I can tell you this book and the series coming behind it are incredible for kids who are reluctant readers and for those who are ready to begin to transition from picture books to chapter books. The story line is cute, something kids can relate to, and the fun facts at the back of the book were my kids’ favorite part. (Originally posted on Amazon.)

What I liked most about Rooster and Squid: Bowling Burglar is that it offers pet care advice in a natural and kid-friendly way. … I also loved Rooster and Squid because they have different points of view, but they complement each other very well, showing that despite differences, a great friendship can be forged.

It’s hilarious and entertaining and very informative. Have you ever wondered what your pet is thinking and will say to you if only it could speak. This book is so funny I can’t stop smiling while reading it … (Originally posted on Amazon.)

AMAZING!! I found these books at a veterinary conference and I am so glad I purchased one for my son. He is only 4, so I read it to him, but he loves them! He laughs and asks questions about things happening in the book. The facts in the back of the book are amazing! I will definitely be purchasing the entire series and any other books made by this author!! (Originally posted on Amazon.)

pets are always fun… … this is such a cute book I think any child would enjoy having it read to them. … It has humor. It’s well written and flows very smoothly which is why I think reading aloud would be good too. (Originally posted on Amazon.)

The story is humorous and contains educational elements alongside interesting characters. Rooster and Squid are fun-loving pets who tease each other constantly, and their silly behavior and playful antics make them relatable and lovable. (Originally posted on Readers’ Favorite.)

Delightful story for kids. Fun story of how we might think dogs and cats act, in their own minds. Also incorporates some practical advice for children and dealing with animals. (Originally posted on Amazon.)
