Buddy and Earl

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Carey Sookocheff. Mutt Buddy meets (clever hedgehog) Earl, who claims to be a sea urchin and a talking hairbrush, among other things. Imaginative adventures ensue, involving--oops--the furniture. Buddy gets in trouble with Mom, and Earl staunchly defends him; "I think you are a friend," Buddy says. This unassuming little book--simple line and gouache illustrations; basic font; small trim size--has a surprising lot going on.
