Cassie · The Case of the Missing Jam · detective story for preschoolers · cowgirl adventure · story to fall asleep

A funny bedtime story for kids, and a deliciously sticky mystery. Disaster has struck Cactus-Ville. The big jar of strawberry jam, the prized one set carefully aside for the famous Sunday toast contest, has vanished clean off the saloon shelf. All that is left behind is a sad, jar-shaped gap in the dust.

Cassie pulls on her deputy sheriff's hat and sets out to crack the stickiest, most finger-licking case in all the Wild West. She follows the trail of clues, and a few telltale crumbs, from one wide-eyed suspect to the next, questioning the whole town as she goes, until at long last she corners a culprit who is covered in strawberry jam from one ear right round to the other. Each suspect she questions looks more and more guilty, and the sticky clues only pile higher and higher. The whole town gets swept up in the search, and the stickiest clues lead her closer and closer to the truth. From the saloon to the stables, no corner of town is safe from Deputy Cassie and her sticky investigation.

It is a whodunit with plenty of giggles and not a single cross word spoken. The mystery is solved with a big grin, the guilty party is met with a warm laugh rather than a scolding, and everyone happily agrees the jam was probably going to be shared around anyway.

This is a story bubbling right over with humour and gleeful little mischief, just right for a laugh before bed. A real cowboy mystery, served up in a soft and giggly version made especially for little ones. It is a light and giggly little mystery, solved with good humour rather than any cross words.

Light and playful from the first clue to the last, it is the perfect way to end the day with a chuckle and then drift gently off toward sleep.

A screen-free audio story for children ages 3 to 5, fun to share at bedtime or in the car. And even when you are laughing hard, the Tilibou ending stays soft and quiet, without music, to help everyone wind down before the night. 🤠
