Here’s a fun new graphic novel series for young readers. Peggy the dog leads a double life – outside Tangletree woods she’s just a waggy-tailed dog, inside she’s a detective dog, solving mysteries on behalf of the local residents from her office.
There are two mysteries for her to tackle in this first book. First is ‘Slime Time’ – why are the animal citizens sleeping so badly and waking up covered in smelly slime? The trail, unexpectedly, leads to Tangletree Library. The second, ‘Mud Race’, is also full of unexpected surprises.
Tangletree is a fun place to spend time and the residents a quirky bunch to say the least. Newly independent readers will love these funny cartoon style adventures and Peggy is a wonderfully amiable detective. More please!
A comic/graphic novel series for 5-8s following the adventures of Peggy the dog, who - when she enters Tangletree Woods on her walk every day - takes up her position as investigator of mysteries.
Read the full description
The animals of Tangletree Woods are all getting ready for the spring dance. But Joan the squirrel has a problem. Her trumpet is completely out of tune and - even more mysteriously - it runs off into the woods of its own accord. Luckily Peggy and Stu the shrew are on hand to help.
Could it be down to Warrington: the grumpy wolf-cat who lives deep amongst the trees? Or is the Peskies who seem to cause no end of trouble? The race is on to solve the case and get back in time for the party.
The Mud and Slime Mysteries is Joel Stewart and Steve Roberts' first book collaboration. Previously to this they have collaborated on TV animation including Abney & Teal and BOT and the Beasties.
Joel has also illustrated for Julia Donaldson, Michael Rosen, Michael Bond as well as his own picture books.
Steve created DipDap and Twirlywoos for Ragdoll, which both won Children's BAFTAs. Before his work in television Steve was a freelance illustrator in comics.

Follow Peggy the dog, and Stu the shrew, on a fascinating, colourful adventure. Why is everyone feeling sleepy, and why are their legs covered in slime?
