An exciting, humorous, and rhyming detective chase set at Christmas, perfect for children ages 3-7.

When a mysterious someone steals the town Christmas tree, Detective Cluehound and Sergeant Squirrel are on the case! Will the two sleuths be able to track down the thief in time for the big day?


It's Christmas, and Dog Detective Cluehound and Sergeant Squirrel are decorating their neighboorhood when a very merry someone grabs their Christmas tree and quickly takes off. STOP THAT . . . SANTA!

And so begins a chase to catch the thief. Wherever they look, Santa is one step ahead of the hapless Detective, until--WHOOSH--Santa escapes at the last moment in a daring reindeer rescue.

But when Cluehound returns to the town square, there's a surprise waiting....

Readers of Tiger Tales’ Stop That! series join Dog Detective Cluehound and Sergeant Squirrel on a rhyming, engaging chase to catch a thief whose identity, while hinted at through the clever artwork, is known to the reader but not the detective!
