The Great Shoenapper
by JEN

Officer Mom said
my shoe was where I put it.
Nope.
My closet is broken into.
Luckily, I'm Detective JoJo.
With my magnifier,
I look for clues:
muddy footprints
a pair of socks
drool.
Aha! I've solved the mystery.
Officer Mom throws my criminal baby sister in jail –
her playpen.

Thanks! It's quite a challenge packing a story into just a few words, but I'd better get good at it, if I want to be a picture book writer, right?
