Details: Condition: Brand New Format: Paperback Publisher: Nosy Crow Age Range: Ages 3-7 Overview: This nine-book paperback collection brings together the complete adventures of Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam, two hapless robber dogs turned bakery detectives. Written by multi-award-winning author Tracey Corderoy and illustrated throughout by Steven Lenton, the set blends rhyming picture books with confidence-building early chapter stories. Packed with cupcakes, capers and cheeky villains, it's a brilliant introduction to independent reading for children aged 3 to 7, perfect for bedtime, classroom sharing or a rainy-day binge-read. About the Books: Shifty and Sam gave up burglary for baking after one bungled heist too many, and now they solve mysteries between batches of cupcakes. In the original picture book, Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam, the pair discover that crime doesn't pay but cakes certainly do. The Cat Burglar, The Diamond Chase, The Missing Masterpiece and Santa's Stolen Sleigh continue the rhyming picture book capers, sending the doggy duo chasing jewel thieves, art forgers and a runaway sleigh across Paris, a swanky gala and snowy Lapland. Four further titles, Up Up and Away!, The Spooky School, Jingle Bells! and The Aliens Are Coming!, move into Nosy Crow's two-colour early-fiction format, giving newly confident readers slightly longer, chapter-based stories while keeping the same warmth, slapstick humour and rhyming charm that made the series a favourite. Every book is built around gentle mysteries, silly villains and a message that teamwork (and a good cupcake) beats crime every time. Steven Lenton's lively illustrations bring every chase, cake disaster and costume mix-up to life on the page, making these stories ideal for reading aloud together or
