Illustrated by
Carey Sookocheff.
In the third picture book featuring dog Buddy and hedgehog Earl (Buddy and Earl; Buddy and Earl Go Exploring), the two friends are excited about a visit from a baby. Once again, the friends' personalities play off each other beautifully in both the droll, deadpan text and the minimalist, earth-toned acrylic gouache illustrations, which use red accents brilliantly.
