I quite liked how the author managed to bring other critters into the story, for a change. Typically, we only see other dogs or Cat with No Name. In this book, though, we meet a monster! Really a reptile with an interesting backstory. And while Buddy eventually solves the case, the humans are still in the dark about a lot of the details. :-D

I love The Buddy Files series! All of these books are told in Buddy's voice - and Buddy is a dog! He likes to spell certain words, he certainly can't count or say double digit numbers correctly and he's easily distracted by food - especially since every food is his favorite!
In this book, Buddy is now a Therapy Dog at school where the kids get to practice reading to him. But he has a mystery to solve, there's a monster (also known as a blue-tongued skink) in the library! It's up to Buddy to find out what the skink is doing in the library, but first he has to find him!
Buddy fans will enjoy the latest installment in the series.

Another great read-aloud. I love Buddy's counting skills "eleventy-seven" and his reaction to each food or treat he is given. "I LOVE...it's my favorite food." But he says that to every food.
