The Mystery of the Missing Toy
Leo couldn't find his favorite toy anywhere. It was a small, red race car with a shiny silver stripe on the side. He looked under his bed, inside his closet, and even in his messy sock drawer, but the car was gone. "Mia!" he called to his older sister. "Have you seen my red car?"
