Critiques en avant-première

Picture book phenomenon Doreen Cronin’s first novel for young readers—an illustrated novel with all her signature wit and humor. J.J. Tully is a former search and rescue dog who is trying to enjoy his retirement after years of performing daring missions saving lives. So he’s not terribly impressed when two chicks named Dirt and Sugar (who look like popcorn on legs), and their chicken mom show up demanding his help to track down their missing siblings. Driven by the promise of a cheeseburger, JJ begins to track down clues. Is Vince the Funnel hiding something? Are there dark forces at work—or is J.J. not smelling the evidence that’s right in front of him? Best selling author Doreen Cronin uses her deadpan humor to pitch-perfect effect in her first novel for young readers. Heavily illustrated with black and white artwork from new talent Kevin Cornell, this new series is destined to become a classic.
