A neat story with enough hilarious high jinks to make young readers giggle out loud and look forward to more Buddy and Earl adventures.
School Library Journal
The comic tension between the real and the imagined, between Buddy’s sweet naiveté and Earl’s cleverness, and between the human and animal universes is just as evident here as in the first book.
Horn Book
Our favorite odd-couple friends explore the wilds of their house after dark in book two of the Buddy and Earl series.
Buddy is just settling in for the night when Earl announces that he’s going on a trip.
Where will Earl go? Wherever the road leads him, of course!
Before Buddy knows it, he and Earl are off on another grand adventure. While exploring the wilds of the kitchen, they see wondrous sights, make delicious discoveries and even encounter a couple of unusual monsters.
