Horse & Buggy on Wheels!

Description

Best friends Horse & Buggy’s skateboarding shenanigans will have early readers rolling with laughter in this story from Geisel medalist Ethan Long!

“Look, Buggy! I have a skateboard.”

“Do you have a helmet, too?”

Horse is ready to try some BIG skateboard tricks . . . and his best friend Buggy has some tricks of his own on how Horse can avoid getting hurt. From tightening helmet straps to bandaging bruised butts, there’s no such thing as too much fun with this dynamic duo—especially because they’re playing it safe.

Ethan Long’s expressive, slapstick-style art brings the laugh-out-loud story to life in this early reader that really sticks the landing.
