Description

Mom's friend Mrs. Cunningham is coming for a visit, and she's bringing her baby. While Buddy the dog tries to explain the ins and outs of babydom to Earl, neither of them is prepared for the chaos the small creature brings. When the baby escapes from what Buddy describes as a playpen, it's up to the two friends to save the day. This is the third book in the Buddy and Earl series.

Quick Summary

In this third Buddy and Earl adventure, two unlikely animal besties get hilariously in over their heads when a tiny human baby turns their peaceful home into a wobbly, wailing wonderland. Kids will giggle as the mismatched duo tries to figure out what this small, loud creature actually needs, accidentally confusing a pacifier for a tiny hat and a diaper bag for a monster. If your kid likes the silly chaos of "Dog Man" or the heartwarming friendships in "Elephant and Piggie," they'll fall hard for this bumbling pair. Perfect for kindergarten through third graders who love laugh-out-loud stories about friends figuring out life together.
