Rocky and Scamper's Mystery Sound

by Theresa Peterson

A clunk. A long, rubbery squeak. Then silence.

Rocky has barely finished breakfast when a strange sound interrupts the morning. Scamper stops chewing, too, and both dogs set off to find its source. Roger and Theresa join the investigation, offering guesses as the sound seems to shift from place to place—and stops whenever the dogs get close.

Could it be coming from the narrow path, the porch, or somewhere beneath a suspicious blanket? Rocky follows every clue with his ears and nose, while Scamper stays close. But the sound keeps playing tricks on them. When it vanishes altogether, the determined dogs must look beyond the obvious to discover what their ears alone can’t tell them. Will they find the source before the mystery slips away?

With curious dogs, lively sound effects, and a backyard puzzle that invites readers to notice the details, this illustrated story is a playful choice for ages 8–12 and a fun read-aloud for the whole family.
