Put on your swim trunks and hit the beach with Earl and Mooch--the dog (and cat) days of summer are here! It's summertime, and the living is easy, the ice cream is cold, and the temperature is so hot your brains will melt right out of your head. Mooch and Earl are eager to make the most of it, lounging in the backyard pool, building sandcastles on the beach, and exchanging knock-knock jokes with a dolphin. From whales and tsunamis to lemonade and Bermuda shorts, this Mutts comics collection for middle-grade readers is packed full of summer fun! Patrick McDonnell's Mutts comic strip is a longtime reader favorite. Mutts Summer Diaries brings the adventures of best buds Earl the dog, Mooch the cat, and a large group of their animal friends to readers aged 8-12, as well as all Mutts fans.
