A missing cone sends the road crew searching

When the roadworks crew discovers that Gary the traffic cone has disappeared, Digger and Traffic Light lead a search across different directions and places. The story frames a small mystery around familiar roadwork equipment, with the question of whether the crew can solve it alone or should ask for help. As a sequel to *Dig Dig Digger*, it returns to the same group of characters; the description also notes colourful illustrations and a twist at the end.

  • Children aged 4–8 who enjoy stories about vehicles and roadworks.
  • Young readers who like picture-book mysteries and searching for a missing object.
  • Families looking for a story that includes asking for help as part of its problem-solving premise.
