I'm Buddy!
The charming picture book that turns learning about America into the ultimate road trip adventure.
Maddy has a big history report due, and her two dogs have a plan. Buddy and Taco are hitting the road to see America, collecting facts and souvenirs to help their girl ace her project.
Acting as playful tour guides, the curious duo explores iconic landmarks and beloved traditions, from the Capitol in Washington, D.C., to the Golden Gate Bridge in California. Along the way, they visit New York City, Mount Rushmore, the Grand Canyon, Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and more!
