Hector and Buster are back for more crazy adventures!
**** Read On Your PC, Mac, Smartphone, Tablet Or Kindle! ****
After his earlier adventure, Hector Dumble is determined to get his dog Buster talking again. So he sets up a laboratory in his bedroom and starts mixing and boiling and evaporating and condensing ...
Unfortunately things don't quite go according to plan. Will Hector's hard work pay off in the end? Find out in this shaggy dog story for kids aged 6 to 13.
EXCERPT
When Hector and his father arrived at the park, it looked like a bomb had dropped. There were feathers scattered around the duck pond, there were chairs and tables overturned at the café, there were ice cream cones scattered across the ground near the ice cream truck, there were kids crying by the swings, there were squirrels crying in the trees … It was a mess and no mistake.
A police van was parked by the gate and a bunch of policemen were standing around. One of them was having his hand bandaged. Hector and his father approached them.
“Excuse me, officer,” said Mr Dumble. “You haven't seen a dog, about so high, brown, with sticky-uppy ears, have you?”
“Are you kidding?” said one of the police officers. “That's the canine who caused this salmagundi of discombobulation,”
“Pardon?” said Mr Dumble.
“The canis domesticus who instigated this cornucopia of pandemonium.”
“Eh?” said Mr Dumble.
The police chief came over. “Don't mind Larry,” said the chief. “He always uses big words when he's traumatized. What's the problem, sir?”
“Well, um, you see, the thing is, it's like this …” said Mr Dumble.

How did Hector's dog start talking?
Hector Dumble thinks he's dumb. When his dog Buster starts talking to him, Hector begins to think he's crazy too.
Things become even stranger when Hector learns that his teacher Mr Weazel has a secret identity.
How will Hector handle having a dog that can talk and a teacher who wants to take over the world?
Find out in this shaggy dog story for kids aged 6 to 13.
EXCERPT
As they were taking a short cut across the park, Buster suddenly stopped walking.
“Come on, Buster,” said Hector. “Mom's waiting for us.”
But Buster just stood there and started making some funny noises. It wasn't really a growl and it wasn't really a bark. It was like a cross between the two. A 'grark'. Then he coughed a bit and gave another grark.
Hector looked at him curiously. “Buster, are you OK?”
Buster looked at Hector, grarked again, and then he said, “Kay kay.”
“Did you just say 'kay kay'?” Hector asked.
“Nuh nuh,” said Buster. “Missa me kay kay.”
“Huh?” Hector thought that the noises Buster was making were pretty weird.
“Missay me ko kay,” said Buster.
“Buster, are you trying to talk?” Hector said.
Buster cleared his throat again and said, “Me say me OK.”
So, thought Hector, all this studying and homework has finally made me go crazy. Now I think my dog can talk. “OK, Buster, let's go home. Mom will be worrying.”
“Hokay Hector,” said Buster. Then he gave another grark, as if he were trying to clear his throat. “Me tawk funny.”
“You sure do,” said Hector. “Come on.”

A Bedtime Story With Added Buzz
This story is a little bit different from other stories. Usually stories are about other people but this story is about you. And usually stories are made up but this story is all true. It’s about the amazing underwater adventure you had today with those bees.
I know what you’re thinking: you’re thinking: I didn’t have an adventure with any bees today!
Oh yes you did! But you can’t remember because that magic flower made you forget.
Let me explain ...
****************************
In this humorous and wildly imaginative read-aloud bedtime tale, the listener hears about a submarine expedition he/she embarked upon earlier that day to explore the uncharted depths of a muddy puddle. It's one of the thirty-one stories that make up the critically acclaimed collection A Month of Bedtime Stories, oh yes it is!
