Shiny Pippin and the Broken Forest by Harry Heape
Pippin lives with her grandmother, who was once a master detective and scientist. When the animals in the magic forest are in danger and there is not enough water, it is young Pippin and her mouse, Tony, who set out to help them (fortunately she can talk to animals — hurray!) Along the way is an elusive diamond, some dynamite and an evil penguin (because they cannot all be Pingu) who smells of fish farts.
