Aspiring journalist Frankie and her lively team of toys are doing a new type of story--an investigative report on the laundry's missing sock! Frankie's mama is just about the best journalist in the world, and Frankie can't wait to be a reporter like her one day. When a top secret package arrives at the news station, Mama explains it's info for a special kind of story--an investigative report. She tells Frankie it's like being a detective, looking for clues to find out important facts and secrets. The Frankie and Friends Newsroom, including Dan the teddy bear, bossy King Tut and Queen Cleopatra, and Nina Simone the cat, decide to do their own investigative report: the mystery of the missing polka-dot sock! Why did two socks go into the laundry while only one came out? Following Frankie's methods and prepared with new journalistic vocabulary words, young reporters can dig into their own fact-finding reports after the latest adventure in this engaging series.
