From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 2 A rollicking picture book about Mattie; Howler, her dog; and Prowler, her cat. When Maggie's hens disappear, she is convinced that there is a thief and sets an elaborate trap, but it is Howler and Prowler, who were initially responsible for the disappearance of the hens, who are instrumental in "capturing the chicken thief." Text is a combination of dialogue and narrative , and the story line is neatly resolved when Howler and Prowler chase the hens back to the hen house. Illustrations are a combination of brightly - colored watercolors and pen - and - ink drawings that reflect the silliness of the story. Young children will enjoy the humorous antics of Maggie and her friends in this visually attractive picture book. Bessie Egan, Winnipeg Public Library, Manitoba, Canada
