Reach for this book when your child is caught up in a cycle of overthinking or when they have jumped to a dramatic conclusion about a simple misunderstanding. It is the perfect choice for a child who loves a good 'whodunit' but might be feeling a bit of anxiety about a missing item or a perceived slight. This story follows a group of animal friends, led by the serious Mole, as they attempt to solve the baffling disappearance of a single strawberry. Through its gentle humor and fast-paced comic-style panels, the book explores themes of curiosity, teamwork, and the realization that things are rarely as dire as they seem. It is developmentally ideal for ages 4 to 8, providing a safe space to discuss how our imaginations can sometimes run away with us. Parents will appreciate the lighthearted resolution that models how to handle a small mistake with grace and a laugh rather than shame.
