Buddy at Rainbow Lake; or, A Boy and His Boat (The Buddy Series)

Along with his friend Tom and his dog Brick, Buddy navigates various adventures set during the American Depression. Howard Roger Garis (April 25, 1873 - November 6, 1962) was an American author, best known for a series of books that featured the character of Uncle Wiggily Longears, an engaging elderly rabbit. Many of his books were illustrated by Lansing Campbell. Garis and his wife, Lilian Garis, were possibly the most prolific children's authors of the early 20th century.
