The Great Catnapping

by Emily Ecton (Author) David Mottram (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade

In this hilarious, high-stakes companion to The Great Pet Heist, The Great Ghost Hoax, and The Great Vandal Scandal, the pet friends take matters into their own paws--and tentacles--to rescue Walt and the white cat when they get catnapped.

The white cat, famous for being a spokes-cat for Beautiful Buffet Cat Food, is making a TV appearance at a supermarket opening, with Madison playing cat wrangler to the stars! The TV people want Walt, too, and everyone is excited for her to reach celebrity status--except Walt.

Unfortunately for the felines' television debut, two cats loose in a supermarket is a recipe for disaster. Chaos erupts at the grand opening, and when the dust settles, the white cat and Walt are nowhere to be seen. They've been catnapped! The police are on the case, but their investigation isn't moving fast enough to satisfy the cats' worried friends. Desperate to get the snatched celebrities home safe and sound, Butterbean and the gang undertake a rescue mission of their own.
