Exploding Endings 1: Painted Dogs & Doom Cakes [Mass Market Paperback] Harris, Tim

Two stories, maximum chaos. In *Painted Dogs*, a school art project goes sideways when wild painted dogs escape the local zoo — and they're headed straight for the classroom. Cue panic, paint splatter, and a scramble to round up Africa's most endangered predators before anyone gets bitten. In *Doom Cakes*, a baking competition turns into a disaster when cursed cupcakes start wreaking havoc. Tim Harris writes with the frenetic energy of a kid hopped up on sugar, delivering short, punchy stories built for reluctant readers who want laughs over lectures. The chapters are short, the stakes are absurd, and the endings? They explode. Perfect for ages 7-10 who'd rather read about calamity than character development, or anyone who thinks books should come with more mayhem and fewer feelings.
