Tip Top: Upton Charles-Dog Detective

Tip Top

This is about as exciting as it gets. The carnival is in town and the twins really

want to go, although Upton is not too keen on the idea, until the Chief of Police calls and

says that there has been a disappearance-the snake lady and all her snakes are gone.

Upton, who is a Bichon Frise (that's "BEE-shon free-ZEY"), a little white dog, knows his duty

and joins the Charles' to sniff out the missing reptiles, although he has no idea what a snake

smells like. Actually, Upton doesn't like snakes at all.

Come along and enjoy the ride. Watch clues slither by as Upton solves the mystery of Tip Top.
