Stop, Thief!
By Heather Tekavec, illustrated by Pierre Pratt
Max the dog valiantly tries to help the farmer stop the thief who has been eating his crops. When Max sets off to catch the entirely wrong culprit, hilarity ensues as he continually misses the signs about who is really stealing the crops.
