Jolie's Great Backyard Dig

By Kristina Calavas

Meet Jolie, a miniature dachshund with a nose for mystery and a heart full of curiosity. When someone digs holes all over her favorite backyard spot, this little detective sets out to solve the case. Following clues from the garden to the big oak tree, she discovers Nutkin, a young squirrel just trying to prepare for winter.

This interactive storybook invites children to become little detectives alongside Jolie, blending storytelling with 12 playful activity pages.

This book teaches valuable lessons about understanding different perspectives, working together, and how conflicts can become friendships with patience and kindness. Based on a real dachshund whose daily adventures inspire joy, this is Book 1 in an ongoing series celebrating curiosity, friendship, and the magic found in everyday exploration.
