The Mystery of the Missing Peanuts is a light-hearted Disney mystery adventure featuring Donald Duck in detective mode. When peanuts begin disappearing from the zoo, Donald takes it upon himself to investigate the puzzling case. Armed with his magnifying glass and trademark determination, he follows a trail of clues through the zoo, encountering a cast of familiar animals along the way.
 
As the mystery unfolds, Donald’s curiosity and persistence lead him closer to the truth, revealing that things are not always as mysterious—or mischievous—as they first appear. The story blends gentle suspense with humour, encouraging young readers to observe carefully, think logically, and enjoy the fun of problem-solving.
 
Published as part of Disney’s Wonderful World of Reading series, the book is designed for early independent readers, with simple sentences, engaging pacing, and expressive illustrations that support reading confidence. The artwork reflects classic Disney styling, with bright colours and lively character expressions that make the story visually appealing and easy to follow.
 
This 2000 Grolier Books edition represents a later entry in the Wonderful World of Reading series and is well suited to both young readers and collectors of modern Disney children’s books.
