The Mysterious Missing Treats (The Adventures of Mo + Milo)

By Jonell Marie

Created by neurodivergent writer and dog mom Jonelle Maire, Mo & Milo celebrates the beauty of different minds, the power of friendship, and the little life lessons that hide in big emotions. Every story is silly, sincere, and designed to grow with your child. The Mysterious Missing Treats Book 1 in the Mo & Milo Adventure Series Something is missing... and Mo is on the case! Mo was having a perfect morning in her cozy little house--until she discovered her secret stash of peanut butter crunchers was gone . Not just misplaced. Vanished. And there's only one dog suspicious enough to be a suspect... Milo. With socks on his head, a suspicious smile, and a whole lot of wiggly energy, he seems like the exact kind of pup who would eat Mo's snacks without asking. But as Detective Mo follows a trail of pawprints, interrogates her stuffies, and even stages a courtroom dream scene (gavel and all), the mystery leads her somewhere she didn't expect... her own birthday party. The Mysterious Missing Treats is the first story in the Mo & Milo Adventure Series --a warm and whimsical collection of picture books designed to support kids through emotional growth, new friendships, and the unexpected joys of everyday life. Whether your little one is the calm Mo or the chaos-loving Milo (or a mix of both!), these books are here to make them laugh, feel seen, and believe that learning--especially about each other--is one big adventure.
