Oh dear! The cookie jar is completely empty! Who could the culprit be? To solve this mystery, we must 'look for clues'. Let's put on our detective hats and investigate the 'scene of the crime'!

Aha! I see a trail of tiny chocolate chip crumbs on the rug. The cookie thief was not very careful! When you follow evidence like this, you are 'hot on the trail'. Let's see where it goes!

The crumb trail leads to the dog bed where Sparky is sleeping. He has a little smudge of chocolate on his nose! This makes him our 'prime suspect'. He sure has a 'guilty look' on his face, even in his sleep!

Sparky wakes up and gives his tail a happy wag. It was him! Because the evidence was so clear, we can call this an 'open-and-shut case'. Great detective work, team! 'Case closed'!
