Description

Bobo is rolling around in the mud when somebody slips a letter under his door. It’s an invitation to have dinner with the queen!

Why me? Bobo wonders. What will he do at a fancy palace? He’s covered in fleas. He doesn’t know which fork to use. He has never been somewhere so grand!

Indeed, when he arrives, Bobo feels terribly out of place. And trouble is following him wherever he turns! But maybe . . . he’s not the only one who’d like to let loose?
