This hilarious tale about problem-solving and ingenuity from bestselling author-illustrator Elise Parsley celebrates nonfiction books as a way to build skills and smarts!
 
All Roy the wild boar wants is to enjoy his precious patch of delicious clover . . . but every time he turns around, his tasty treasure seems to be shrinking! Who's stealing his favorite meal from right under his snout? To make the tedious job of standing guard by the clover patch day and night more bearable, Roy's neighbor Jarvis the gopher helps by lending his never-ending stash of fascinating books that absorb Roy's attention—as the patch disappears bit by bit. All of that reading makes for a very smart boar, though . . . and in a surprise table-turning twist at the end, Roy might just get the better of that sneaky clover thief!

In the vibrant, verdant world of Cloverville, there lived a mischievous clover thief named Sly. With nimble paws and a glittering smile, Sly would tiptoe through fields, plucking the luckiest four-leaf clovers under the moonlight. The townsfolk were baffled, searching high and low for the elusive culprit, but their efforts proved futile.

Enter Tilly, a bright and resourceful young girl with a passion for gardening and a knack for solving mysteries. When her beloved clover patch falls victim to Sly's thievery, Tilly embarks on a thrilling adventure to uncover the truth and bring the clover thief to justice.

Armed with her magnifying glass and a notebook filled with observations, Tilly follows a trail of clues that lead her through Cloverville's secret paths and hidden nooks. Along the way, she meets a cast of quirky and charming characters, including a wise old owl, a talkative squirrel, and a friendly gnome, each with their own unique insights into Sly's mischievous escapades.

As Tilly delves deeper into the mystery, she discovers that Sly's motives are not what they seem. The clover thief is not driven by greed or malice, but by a heartfelt desire to spread good luck and happiness throughout Cloverville. With each stolen clover, Sly leaves a trail of joy and laughter, bringing smiles to the faces of those who find them.

In a heartwarming twist, Tilly realizes that the true challenge lies not in catching Sly, but in understanding their intentions and finding a way to preserve the magic that Sly brings to Cloverville. With patience, empathy, and a shared love for their charming town, Tilly and Sly forge an unexpected bond that leads to a heartwarming resolution.

Filled with whimsical illustrations, playful rhymes, and a cast of unforgettable characters, "How to Catch a Clover Thief" is a delightful tale that celebrates friendship, compassion, and the power of believing in the extraordinary.
