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.
