We recently discovered the superbly entertaining book Wilcox and Griswold Mystery: THE CASE FOR THE MISSING CARROT CAKEBy Robin Newman & Illustrated by Deborah Zemke.
When food goes missing on Ed’s farm, Detectives Wilcox and Griswold do what it takes to track down the thieves. In this case, Miss Rabbit’s carrot cake has disappeared. Has it been stolen? Or eaten? Or both? Whodunnit?
Children will quickly be drawn into the mystery as they are challenged to help find the missing carrot cake. The book opens with an introduction to Ed’s Farm: “Over 100 animals live on this farm. Most work. Some horse around. Others steal.”
The book takes you through the farm community where you meet a variety of characters like Miss Rabbit and Fowler the Owl. Full of jokes and lively illustrations this book is a wonderful beginning chapter book and it is sure to entice reluctant readers.
As an added bonus, at the end of the book, Mollie Katzen’sCarrot Cake recipe is shared. Making carrot cake is a delicious way to celebrate reading a great book!

I love all of the food idioms used in the book. Is there a list somewhere? Thank you.
Lam, Many thanks for your note. Unfortunately, there isn’t a list.
Best wishes,
