The first three novels in the Animal Inn chapter book series, where the fur--and fun--flies at an animal spa and hotel, are now available together in a fur-tastic paperback edition!
The Animal Inn is an all-inclusive pet resort and spa for animals from dogs to rabbits, cats to ducks, parrots to lizards. From doggie and kitty daycare, to grooming, and group play--you name it, and the Animal Inn has it. The Inn is run by the Tyler family along with their pets Leopold, the Macaw; Fuzzy and Furry, the gerbils; dogs Dash and Coco; felines Shadow and Whiskers; and a rollicking horde of animal visitors. In A Furry Fiasco, when the animals hear that a new boarder--a Komodo Dragon--will be coming to the Inn, they panic! Will it gobble them all up and then devour their family? In Treasure Hunt, the animals are convinced a pirate with a glittering treasure is visiting the Animal Inn. Will the animals have to walk the plank in order to survive? Arghhh! And in The Bow-Wow Bus, Cassie Tyler's first grade class takes a field trip to Animal Inn for a meet and greet. And it's a furry good time for all--even for the newest kid in class, a goldfish named Blub.Author Biography
