Jason Platt's Paw & Order: The Grilled Cheese Caper makes the Children's Book Council List for Kids Favorite 2026!
Jason Platt’s, Paw & Order: The Grilled Cheese Caper makes the CBC list for 2026
I’m so excited to share that Paw & Order: The Grilled Cheese Caper has made the Children’s Book Council’s top 10 list for Kid’s Favorite in 2026 in the 3rd - 5th grade category! It’s not just great to see Purrlock and Marlowe being recognized, but that they are recognized by the ones I wrote the adventure for to begin with; the kids!
I’m So excited and so humbled to be in this list.
When I first started writing this set of adventures of Purrlock and Marlowe, I wrote with a love I have for both comedy and mysteries. A lot of my own childhood was influenced by both, and I always wanted to write a book that combined the two together.
In many ways, I wrote and illustrated Paw & Order for the 7 year old I used to be. It makes me truly happy knowing that other children love comedy and mysteries too.
Thank you!

Calgary Public Library virtual visit
Yesterday I had a great time visiting with the Calgary Public Library and all the students. Together we talked about my book series (both Paw & Order and Middle School Misadventures), read through the first chapter of my book, Paw & Order Vol 1: The Grilled Cheese Caper, and talked about my early cartoon and book influences. Even though it was virtual, I was still able to do my drawing demos for them. I hope they had as good of a time as I did!
