Buddy and Earl Go Exploring

Buddy and Earl are safely tucked in for the night; Buddy on his blanket and Earl in his cage. But just as Buddy settles in for a nice, long sleep, Earl says it’s time to say Bon voyage.”

Soon these mismatched pals are at it again, exploring the wilds of the kitchen and defending a lovely lady hedgehog who may or may not be Mom’s hairbrush from imminent danger. When they’ve finally vanquished the greatest monster of all the vacuum cleaner it’s time for some well-earned shut-eye.

This second book in the Buddy and Earl series reunites this odd and loveable animal couple: a dog who likes to play by the rules and a hedgehog who knows no limits.

Be sure to join them on their next adventure Buddy and Earl and the Baby.
