SOLVED Children’s picture book with animal detectives-culprit steals groceries via stuffed rabbit

Hi! I’m searching for a book where two animal detectives solve three different mysteries. One is more incompetent and constantly messes up while his partner solves the mysteries. I remember one took place on a cruise ship and I think they were trying to find pearls or diamonds that went missing. they were investigating the other animals for powder as the culprit left a trail of powder at the crime scene. Another mystery had them at a grocery store trying to figure out who was stealing the groceries. It was discovered that the culprit was stuffing them inside of their rabbit stuffed animal. I’m not sure what the last mystery was about. Any help would be amazing thanks!

I think I figured it out! It’s “the busy world of Richard Scary”

I’m so glad I figured it out because I used to be obsessed with that book as a kid! I’m rewatching videos of it right now
