Jasper and Scruff have opened a bookstore together. They received a mysterious package with a treasure map to find the Golden Bone, a long-lost treasure of the pirate Black Whiskers. As Jasper and Scruff follows the clues, they must find a singing clock, a salty-sweet ice cream, and a tumbled-down old theater building. But they are trapped by their old enemies, the Sophisticats! It will take all their ingenuity and courage to escape and find the treasure.
This is such a fun book! Jasper and Scruff are hilarious! I loved all the twists and turns of the plot, and how the two friends are resilient and resourceful through every circumstance.
There are a few paragraphs of text on each page, making this the perfect type of book for children who are learning to read small chapter books on their own.
The illustrations are really cute and I love the designs for all the animals characters! Every page is so colorful.
The only problem is that now I'm craving ice cream! Jasper and Scruff ate an entire huge tub of ice cream, and now I want some too! haha!

Lots of pictures giving clues about what is going on make this an easy transition from picture books/early readers to the chapter book section. The scruffy dog and snooty cat make for oddball friends as they follow a trail of rhyming clues to a fishy ending. Lots of different elements will give this a wide appeal: fast plot, pirates, friendships, animal stars, goofy dog and a mystery in the form like a scavenger hunt.

This was a cute early chapter book. I think if kids like the idea of a treasure hunt and mysteries they will probably enjoy this book. Lots of illustrations, simple words, and simple, short sentences.

I love this adorable odd couple. Jasper is a cat who is neat and tidy and a snappy dresser and Scruff is a scruffy dog who’s a little messy. They’re complete opposites but the best of friends. In this book they open a bookshop together and find a treasure map in one of the books which leads them on a treasure hunt.
Both of the stories in the series are perfect for reading aloud or for newly independent readers to read themselves. There are illustrations on every page that make the story come alive. Nicola Colton writes and illustrates the stories and she really knows her audience. I hope to read more adventures of Jasper and Scruff.
