by Julia Donaldson and Sarah Ogilvie

An inclusive dramatisation of The Detective Dog for all families, based on the picture book The Detective Dog. Whether it’s finding a lost shoe or discovering who did a poo on the new gravel path, Nell’s ever-sniffing nose is always hard at work. So when the books at the school have disappeared one morning, Detective Dog Nell is ready to sniff out the culprit!
