The game's afoot again, but this time the great squirrel detective, Sherlock Nettlesbee, is feeling too frantic to solve an important mystery. His trusty companion, John Wabbitson, is missing! Presuming the worst, Sherlock is convinced that it’s the fiendish work of the evil Moray-eel-arty. Can he remain calm and follow the clues to the right conclusion? Or will worry slither him into his scariest thoughts?

PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: This original tale takes young listeners into the Dorktales version of a Sherlock mystery. There is a lesson on what happens when you let your fears get the best of you, causing you to make assumptions and leap to the wrong conclusions. This is what happens to Sherlock, a character who is very methodical and thoughtful, but fears the worst when his best friend, Wabbitson, appears to be missing. He does the right thing when he asks his friends for help.
