Buddy and Earl and the Great Big Baby - Hardcover
by Maureen Fergus (Author), Carey Sookocheff (Illustrator)
Mrs. Cunningham is bringing her baby for a visit! But Buddy and Earl are not prepared for the chaos the small and adorable creature brings with him.
Mom's friend Mrs. Cunningham is coming for a visit, and she's bringing her baby! While Buddy tries to explain the ins and outs of babydom to Earl, neither of them is prepared for the chaos the small and adorable creature brings with him.
When the baby manages to escape from his cage -- which Buddy gently suggests is really just a playpen -- it's up to our favorite odd couple to save the day.
This third title in the critically acclaimed Buddy and Earl series follows a dog who likes to play by the rules and a hedgehog who knows no limits on another fun adventure in deductive reasoning and imaginative play.
