The Detective Mystery, age 4-6

The prankster Shifty McSly sneaks around Little Newbury and mysterious things are happening. Shockingly, six precious, rare books have disappeared from the library! The town’s clumsy detective, Fergus Finn, has accepted the challenge to find the thief and retrieve the missing books and he is on the lookout, but librarian Linda Landon knows from experience that he’ll need assistance and asks for help. She has promised a reward to those who can retrieve the missing books!
