A cops and robbers adventure with a twist by children’s writer Margaret Ryan.
PC Penny Penrose is always given the rotten jobs to do by Sergeant Snide. She never gets to see any of the real police action. When there’s a robbery at Doogood’s department store, Penny is left behind to count traffic cones. Until, that is, her pet dog duo Scratch and Sniff decide to help out!
This humorous story from Margaret Ryan has fun black-and-white illustrations by Nathan Reed and is perfect for children who are developing as readers.
