Overview
When a string of disappearing socks leaves Mom grumbling, Luci beckons the world's slowest detective. Cole Sloth Investigator crawls onto the crime scene to crack the case. After a high-stakes (and very low-speed) interrogation of Old Willie washer, Dee Dee dryer, and Harry hamper, the sleuth catches the culprit red-handed: Perry pants clinging to the sock to recall the fun and joy of Luci's bedtime dance. It's a whimsical race against the clock, though with Cole Sloth in charge, the ""race"" is more of a crawl that ends with a solved mystery and a sleepy detective.

""This is an adorable story with a unique detective and a cute mystery. Kids are bound to love it!"" Cori Wamsley, Award-winning Author
Author Information
Christina Caragein, a proud mother of three (who have successfully navigated their way to adulthood, phew!), has spent her life mastering the art of the multi-tasking superhero. For decades, she's been the heart of the classroom, turning ""I can't"" into ""I did"" for countless students and making every lesson feel like an adventure. She lives by the philosophy that a little gratitude and a lot of joy can make ordinary moments extraordinary. Now, with her retirement compass pointing toward the horizon, Christina is trading her red grading pens for a permanent place at the writer's desk. She's not just closing this book, she's starting a brand-new chapter as a full-time author. Get ready for more heart, more humor, and more of the captivating storytelling she has spent her whole lifetime perfecting. Francis Cleetus started drawing on walls at an early age. His Indian parents weren't thrilled, hoping to see him in scrubs instead of overalls. He wasn't left-brained enough to be a doctor, so he got a degree in chemistry and started working at a tire factory as a quality-control analyst. Just a year later, he quit his job and returned to school to study graphic design and copywriting. He went on to work at ad agencies in India, Hong Kong, and the US, and win a mantle full of creative awards. His parents weren't ecstatic this time around, either. Francis has created TV spots for the Pennsylvania Lottery, cartoons for the Pittsburgh Tech Council's magazine, murals for the Phipps Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, and paintings for the Pittsburgh Arts Council. But he still hasn't figured out why his wife and two daughters prefer mauve over lilac.
