"The bond between Buddy and Earl is as strong as ever in their fourth
book, as is the playful banter and cheerful artwork that capture their
relationship so well." Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW
Buddy and Earl know that with the right education they can become
anything -- even a dentist or a hot-dog vendor! So they eagerly gather
their silly, smelly supplies and head to school.
Soon after they arrive, their teacher, Miss Meredith, is called away and
Professor Earl takes charge of the classroom. Buddy works hard at
lessons like Sniffing Things, Tail Chasing and Scratching Itches. And
when Professor Earl announces that one very special student is going to
win a major award? Buddy cannot imagine who that lucky student might
be...
In this fourth book in the critically acclaimed Buddy and Earl series,
the dog who likes to play by the rules and the hedgehog who knows no
limits learn just how much fun school can be.
