From the co-creator of the hit children’s show, Dora the Explorer, comes four more hilarious stories about the friendship between Freddie the purple parrot and his loyal butler, Peccary.

Return to Rubberwick with this new collection of short stories, full of whimsical illustrations and laugh-out-loud hijinks!

These brand new adventures find our favorite duo deciphering morse code, getting into trouble with the town Judge, and even trying a new breakfast treat (don't worry, waffles are still the best!).
