BUDDY TROUBLE (Tony Baloney) - Hardcover

Praise for TONY BALONEY

*"Ryan's exuberant story takes a fresh look at sibling dynamics. . . . Fotheringham's hyperbolic digital illustrations counterbalance the slyly understated narrative, portraying Tony's (and Dandelion's) antics with humor." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, starred review

"Memorable characters and vivid scenes. Tony will definitely be a favorite with readers. He is bound to become an enduring character poised to experience many more adventures." -- LIBRARY MEDIA CONNECTION

"The trials and tribulations of middle children get zesty, energetic treatment in this story." -- THE HORN BOOK

"Totally goofy, but totally fun." -- BOOKLIST

Tony Baloney--the loveable, highly relatable hero--is back in the second installment of this bravura new Beginning Reader series!

Tony Baloney and his best friend,
Bob, can't wait for tonight.
It's Books and Buddies,

But will a fight with Big Sister
ruin everything?

With spot-on comic timing and hilariously familiar situations, award-winners Pam Munoz Ryan and Edwin Fotheringham once again examine sibling dynamics with insight and heart.

Whether you are a Bossy Biggest, a Mellow (and mischievous) Middle, or a Bothersome Baby, you are sure to find yourself or someone you love in the Baloney family.
