About the Author:
James Howe is the author of more than ninety books for young readers, including the modern classic Bunnicula and its highly popular sequels. In 2001, Howe published The Misfits, the story of four outcast seventh-graders who try to end name-calling in their school. The Misfits is now widely read and studied in middle schools throughout the country, and was the inspiration for the national movement known as No Name-Calling Week (NoNameCallingWeek.org), an event observed by thousands of middle and elementary schools annually. There are three companion novels to The Misfits: Totally Joe (2005), Addie on the Inside (2011), and Also Known as Elvis (2014). Howe’s many other books for children from preschool through teens frequently deal with the acceptance of difference and being true to oneself. Visit him online at JamesHowe.com.

Kindergarten-Grade 1-The seventh in the series about two best friends. While on a weekend camping trip, Pinky and his father and Rex and her father refuse to let their spirits be dampened by the nonstop rain. They explore a cavern, and later set up camp-tent and all-in a motel room. Subsequent plans take the four friends to a puppet-maker's studio, a reptile museum, a train museum, and, finally, to a miniature-golf course. Sweet's watercolor illustrations complement the text and show readers that these two children and their families are just ordinary people who know how to have fun in spite of the weather and enjoy being together. The universality of the adventures and the design of the book make this title attractive to beginning readers.
