Publisher Description
The Bed and Biscuit animal boardinghouse has gone wild! Grampa Bender is temporarily caring for a wounded Canada goose, a cranky old muskrat, and two starving fox kits. Luckily Ernest, Grampa’s capable mini-pig, is there to encourage the other animals to be good hosts. But the visiting creatures are wild, not tame, and they all just want to go home!
Despite the chaos, Ernest also takes on the training of Sir Walter the Scottie, the newest addition to Grampa’s blended animal family. But, intrigued by the sassy fox kits, Sir Walter is turning a bit wild himself. Why should he obey Ernest? After all, no one tells the foxes what to do, and being wild and free is mighty appealing to the impressionable puppy....
From the author of Welcome to the Bed & Biscuit comes another raucous story of life in an engaging and quirky animal family.

"This was an awesome book. It had a terrible beginning in my opinion. They just kept saying random names and no one knows who is who. A good thing about this book is that it had a really climactic middle. "

" Great chapter book for children who love animals. The dialogue could be a bit confusing for the younger readers when deciding who is talking. The characters are really cute, and I love that the author includes non-fiction information about the animals at the farm. "

" This was a cute book. I have several kids at my school that are interested in being vets, and I see them loving this book! A cute story of animals both wild and tame. I enjoyed it. "

" Well, this was another book that was told from the point of veiw of the animals. I thought it was a cute story, but it wasn't something that I just loved. The animals at the rescue are really well written and I like the idea of a vet helping out tamed as well as wild animals. All-in-all a good book. "

" I grew up reading James Herriot and loved all of his stories. The books about the menagerie at the Bed and Biscuit remind me of Herriot so much, just at the elementary school level. "

" Great way to introduce kids to the differences between tame and wild animals. A vet takes in some injured wild animals with amusing and sometimes touching results. Told from the view point of the humans and the animals for a unique twist on a story. "
