In "Case of the Missing Cattle," Chilly finds himself navigating a town overrun by wild sledding penguins and seals, turning sidewalks into treacherous ice rinks. With help from an old snow plow left behind by a polar expedition, he carves a frozen freeway to keep the sledgers safe—until Sharky the Shark sees a chance to snack on unsuspecting riders. Written by Vic Lockman and illustrated by Veve Risto, this zany winter caper blends slapstick chaos with icy twists, all brought to life with vibrant colors from the Western Publishing Production Shop. The cover by John Carey captures the frozen frenzy in bold, playful detail.
