Rights Available World excl. Australia and NZ 

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.

• With an easy-to-sing melody and a catchy refrain available to stream or download from all good digital music sites.

• Cleverly illustrated by talented artist Bruce Potter, based on the characters by Paul Beavis.

• There are now six titles in the popular Nee Naw series including character spin-offs: Dusty the Digger, Ellie Copter and Moto Mike the Motorbike.
