From the creator of the bestselling Nee Naw books comes an exciting new character kids will love. Singer-songwriter Dean O’Brien has produced yet another toe-tapping, sing-along song, this time about Nee Naw’s friend, Dusty the Digger.

When goats Plinky and Plonky snatch buckets of jelly powder and fall into a swimming pool, they soon become stuck in jiggly, wobbly jelly. When Nee Naw’s ladder can’t reach them and Grandma’s spoon can’t scoop jelly out of the pool fast enough, Dusty the Digger takes action and saves the day.
