Christopher Nibble and his friend Posie are keeping six hairy caterpillars as pets. They look after their pets carefully but, one day, the caterpillars disappear! Our gardening guinea pigs become the detectives of Dandeville and, with the help of Mr Rosetti, they solve their minibeast mystery in this bright and beautiful tale.
