I'm Wanda Sykes and today I'm going to be reading The Case of the Missing Carrot Cake

written by Robin Newman and illustrated by Deborah Zemke.

Boys and girls, this case is about thieves on Ed's farm.

The names have been changed to protect the good guys.

Most work. Some horse around. Others steal.

It's our job to investigate cases of missing food.

Whatever the food, whatever the crime,  we  make the bad guys do the time.

The captain and I were working the day shift when we got our first call.

“The cake I baked for my party tomorrow!”

“Stay calm, ma'am. We'll be right there,” I said.

“Captain, we've got a Code 12  — a missing cake!”

We grabbed some cheese donuts for the road and rushed to our squad car.

We headed north across the farm, past the pigpen and chicken coop,

Traffic was light — only a couple of chickens crossing the road.

We parked in front of Miss Rabbit's hole.

We didn't see anyone, but we could hear a voice.

We slid down the rabbit hole and landed in the kitchen.

Cake crumbs, carrots, and frosting were EVERYWHERE

— on the table, on the floor, and all over Miss Rabbit.

“Detective Wilcox, ma'am, and Captain Griswold,  MFIs,” I said, flashing my badge.

“I baked a cake for my party tomorrow,” said Miss Rabbit.

“A carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.”

Hmm... I wondered which animals liked carrot cake.

I left it to cool and when I came back, there was a big mess and no cake!”

“Probably between 8:00 and 10:00 this morning.”

“Any guess who might have done this?” I probed.

I noticed Miss Rabbit was wiping frosting off of her pajamas, whiskers, and nose.

She clearly hadn't had time for her morning bath.

The captain pointed to the window in the distance.

Fowler the Owl was reading the newspaper in her maple tree.

Everyone on the farm knew that Fowler liked rabbits.

“Does Fowler come around here?” I asked.

I have a black belt in karate!” said Miss Rabbit with a quick chop of her hind legs.

“And ma'am, whom did you invite to the party?”

You don't think either of them is the thief, do you?”

“Does anyone have a key to your rabbit hole?” I asked.

Miss Rabbit shook her head, sending crumbs and frosting flying.

“One last question.  Where were you when the cake was taken?”

The captain dusted for prints and took photos.

This case was going to be a hard nut to crack.

“Hoo-hoo,” said Fowler, peeking her head out of her hole.

“What brings you two tasty treats to my tree?”

“Investigating a case,” I said, holding up my badge.

“Detective Wilcox and Captain Griswold, MFIs.

Where were you between 8:00 and 10:00 this morning?”

If someone had seen her, she'd have an alibi.
