When Nanushka the cat didn't show up for Saturday's show,

Clive and Sydney knew something was wrong.

"Nanushka is missing!" they cried. "Where could she be?!" What could they do?

Lovable, dancing armadillos Clive and Sydney, who star with Nanushka at the Pine Tree Forest Theater, end up going on quite an exciting adventure searching for their friend Nanushka. Do the clues provided by Marsha the fox or Jessie the chimp hold the key? Is Jack the aardvark willing and able to help? And then there's that huge, spine-chilling snake they meet face to face when they're lost in the forest. Not to mention Sydney's scary ordeal . . .

Do they find Nanushka?

Not only will children be captivated by this delightful and unique animal story, they'll also be treated to the gorgeous, vibrant illustrations by award-winning Canadian illustrator Tamara Campeau.

This beautifully illustrated children's picture book, Nanushka Is Missing!, is the first book in the forthcoming series, The Adventures of Clive & Sydney, the Dancing Armadillos, and offers more than an adventure. It's complete with valuable messages of friendship, courage, trust, loyalty, and love. (Lots of Social Emotional Learning (SEL)!)
