Nate the Great and the Pillowcase by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat and Rosalind Weinman

In the middle of the night, Nate the Great is called upon to solve the case of the missing pillowcase so Rosamond's cat, Big Rex, can fall asleep. After stopping at the diner, it is his dog, Sludge, who helps solve the case.

A mystery story written humorously and accompanied by simple illustrations that aid in solving the case alongside Nate the Great. The pages are covered mostly in text with simple sentences and mostly simple, known words. It is written for level two readers. Are milk bottles familiar to kids these days?
