Bubba and Beau Meet the Relatives (Bubba and Beau Series)

Get ready, Bubbaville—here come the relatives!

Publishers Weekly

The Mud Hole sees some renewed action in Bubba and Beau Meet the Relatives by Kathi Appelt, illus. by Arthur Howard. About the series' first book, Bubba and Beau: Best Friends, PW wrote, "Appelt's fond voice and Howard's good-humored drawings combine to suggest an easygoing, distinctly Texan family life." In this third title, the arrival of Bubba's "froufrou" relatives makes things a bit uncomfortable for Bubba at first. But it's not long before a trip to the Mud Hole and its aftermath leads to a "picture-perfect moment in Bubbaville." Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

Kathi Appelt, at the age of seven, stumbled and fell into an alligator pit in San Antonio, Texas, a place where there should be no alligators or alligator pits. Fortunately she was a lot bigger than the alligator, who was more scared of her than she was of it!
