Harold and the Hot Rod

<p>The four canine friends from Hound's Glenn - Max Theena Edgar and NicNac - are back! They're enjoying Summer Science Camp taught by their favorite teacher Ms. Chienne when Edgar's big brother Harold comes up with a surprising plan. The most cautious and responsible driver in town Harold suddenly decides to invent a new kind of racing car. He wants to take it to All Critters City for the big race and auto show. Unfortunately because of a bridge collapse on the main highway (a passel of pigs shouldn't do the sway on a suspension bridge) it look like Harold's dream is finished.<p><p>But Max Theena Edgar and NicNac are as inventive as ever and they'll find a way. At the summer school outing to the water slides in River Otter City they discover an old steam-powered riverboat that looks like it can get Harold and his car to AC City in time. Along the way we meet the boiler-stoking bears from Minersville and Casanova Cugat the most inept pirate ever; Theena makes a new friend a beautiful puma singer; the eight-hundred-pun gorilla finds a new job; and our four furry friends invent a way to save the riverboat and the day.<p> <p>In the spirit of Alice in Wonderland and the Uncle Remus stories the cast of feathered scaled and furry characters in Harold and the Hot Rod have a great deal of fun and some of them create a bit of mischief and get their just deserts. Themes of friendship inclusion and fair play underlie the humor and adventure.<p>
