Case 1: Boulevard to Mayhem 1 Boulevard to Mayhem


Miss Mallard, the world-famous ducktective, and her nephew, Willard Widgeon, were vacationing in Hollywood. They headed for a theater on Hollywood Boulevard where stars often gathered.

At the theater, they met Mia Pintail, a movie star who was having her footprints and signature put into cement on the famous Walk of the Stars.

Mia invited them to visit the set of her latest movie,
Ducklings and Dinosaurs. The movie was being filmed at a tar pit where dinosaur bones were once discovered.

Strange things began happening on the set, such as a camera on a track nearly hitting Mia, and her trailer nearly rolling into the pit.

Top review from the United States

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2018
Nice stories, but not what I was expecting. I thought it would be a much larger book, considering the cost (almost $25 for a former library paperback!). Instead it was a very small book with an original price of $5.95 (in 2000). I should have looked at the dimensions more closely...
