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!

I recently sat down with local reporter, Jonathan Turner at a local coffee shop to talk about my latest book, Paw & Order Vol 2: The Case of the Sleeping Artist. I’ve known Jonathan for many years, and beyond talking about my upcoming book, he has also covered many of the theatrical productions I’ve been in. So it was great to talk business, but also catch up.

One Week Until Paw & Order Vol 2: The Case of the Sleeping Artist comes out!
A theft has occurred from a Paris museum, and Purrlock and Marlowe are on the case!
No, not that museum. It’s another one. And no, not the Crown Jewels. It’s the latest painting by M. Henri Porcupine, gasp! And to top it all off, Marlowe’s Aunt Foo Foo is arrested for the crime! Double gasp!
Your young reader will follow right along side of Purrlock and Marlowe around the Parisian streets, study the scene of the crime, look at the clues, and interview the suspicious suspects. And… with any luck, they might have time to go visit the Eiffel Tower.
Can they discover whodidit?
Can they save Marlowe’s Aunt Foo Foo?
And who exactly is the Sleeping Artist anyway?
Get your favorite crime-solving hat on, because…
There’s one week until the Sleeping Artist is unveiled, there’s still time to preorder your copy here!
