Officer Study Time
I slipped back inside under the door gap and trotted straight toward the low living room bookshelf! Resting on the floor was a chunky cardboard picture book with thick glossy pages. I planted my boots firmly, hooked my fingers under the corner, and heaved—flop! The book swung open to reveal a giant cartoon police car with a bright siren on top! My ears perked up instantly. I tapped the glossy wheels with both paws and studied the bold black tires. True officer equipment! I let out a cheerful yip, planted my feet on the colorful page, and gave a proud double thumbs-up. Study time complete!
