The Berenstain Bears and the Escape of the Bogg Brothers

This is one of the better Berenstain Bear books, perhaps becuase there is no parental moralizing involved. In fact, the bears and friends (Cousin Fred, Lizzy Bruin, and Dr. Wise Old Owl) are on their own as detectives. They get a call that the mean, nasty Bogg Brothers ("Not only did they rob and cheat, but they also made rude remarks...") have escaped from jail (again). The Bears find that the police have most of the places with valuables covered, with one exception, the "Bearsonian" museum. Here, with the help of Professor Actual Factual, they that find several items have been stolen, and they proceed to solve the case.The story is more original and the language more witty than usual in this series, and I also liked the setting: It makes museums sound very interesting. 48 pages, with bright pictures, and recommended by the publisher for readers in grades 2-3. Recommended!
