Buddy and Earl and the great big baby  Cover Image Book Book

Buddy and Earl and the great big baby / Maureen Fergus ; pictures by Carey Sookocheff.

Fergus, Maureen, (author.). Sookocheff, Carey, 1972- (illustrator.).

Summary:

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 it. When the baby manages to escape from its 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.
