Lily the golden retriever wakes to a mystery-her beloved Blue Bear has vanished from the rocking chair. Determined to find her friend, Lily follows snowy tracks, a missing button eye, and a trail of clues that lead young readers into a warm, winter adventure full of curiosity and heart.
The Backyard Bandit is a beautifully illustrated picture book that invites children to predict, infer, and think deeply as they uncover what really happened in the quiet backyard. Rooted in the Science of Reading, this engaging story naturally supports comprehension, vocabulary, and meaningful discussion.
Perfect for ages 4-8, classroom read-alouds, bedtime stories, and dog lovers, Lily's snowy quest helps children explore honesty, empathy, and problem-solving. Readers will fall in love with her determination-and want to follow every clue.
A gentle mystery with a powerful message, The Backyard Bandit inspires curiosity, conversation, and connection long after the last page.
