Chet is a dog and Bernie is a private detective. I am really enjoying these stories and I think they would be good for ESL students, too. For example, Bernie might say, "This is a wild goose chase." That is an idiomatic expression Chet, the dog, cannot understand. He might look around and think, "I don't see any geese." But Chet never lets little things like not understanding English get him down. Also, this book is not about gun violence and drugs. It is about the intelligence of humans and the loyalty of dogs.
Some titles: Dog On It and Thereby Hangs a Tail. These books were New York Times Bestsellers.
