Sheep In Wolves' Clothing by Satoshi Kitamura
What happens when three sheep leave their coats in the safe-keeping of some wily wolves? Both wolves and coats disappear, of course! Enter Elliott Baa, Private Detective, who, together with the three friends and some rugby-playing cats, sets off to confront the villains in this action-packed and off-beat tale.
