Buddy is NOT a good listener. When his dad asks him for a pen, for example, Buddy brings back a hen. And when his mother requests a slice of bread, well, he slices his bed instead. So it's no surprise that when Buddy is sent on an errand, he forgets which way he is supposed to go and ends up at the home of the Scruffy Varmint. But even the terrifying Scruffy Varmint can't get through to Buddy. Not until Buddy mishears something crucial and gets the fright of his life. That day Buddy learns how to run fast -- and how to finally listen.
This is a cute story with a good lesson about listening. Children will delight in Buddy's silly misunderstandings and cheer for him when he finally gets it right. Contains a link to a free download of the audio version.
