Barkly Mansion and the Scruffiest Mischief: Barkly Mansion #3

Description

An adorably funny series about a slightly odd house that's turned upside down when a new friend comes to stay. Edmund is settling in just fine with Kyle, Cookie, Fizzy and Lady Delilah - but things are never calm for long at Sullivan Street! Will Fizzy find his LOST DINO? Which BLANKET FORT is better - battling an angry ogre army or a volcano jungle adventure? And Sullivan Street Playhouse may finally have a SUCCESSFUL SHOW ... if only the audience can stop interrupting! Each book in this sweet, goofy series for 6+ is packed full of mischief, mayhem and wordplay! Every book features three fish-out-of-water episodes about this loveable canine crew - and their new friend, Edmund.
