Ruff! Ruff! Meet Ruffles, the playful puppy who faces all the tricksy troubles of preschool life in this new picture book series from bestselling author and illustrator David Melling.

Just like every preschooler, Ruffles the puppy experiences all the ups and downs of daily life as he learns about the world around him. There are LOTS of things he likes and LOTS of things he doesn't . . . and he doesn't always get things quite right!

The Teeny Tiny Kittens have come to stay and Ruffles is NOT happy. They pounce and purr and snore and jump and POOP! Worst of all, they want to play with Big Blue Blankie, and Ruffles doesn't want to share. But the Teeny Tiny Kittens don't understand and there's trouble when Big Blue Blankie is accidentally ripped. Luckily, Ruffles' new feline friends show him that sharing together is the very best way to make friends and play.

With brilliantly observed and hilarious animal illustrations by David Melling, whose series, Hugless Douglas, has sold over 2 million copies worldwide.

The hilarious follow up to Ruffles and the Red, Red Coat, where Ruffles does NOT like wearing his coat on a rainy day!

A perfect picture book series for bedtime!


Ruff! Ruff! Meet Ruffles, the playful puppy who faces all the tricksy troubles of preschool life in this brightly coloured new picture book series.


There's a new green thing in Ruffles' bowl and he does NOT like it. Not. One. Little. Bit.


But look! Ralph has come to play. Ruffles REALLY loves Ralph. Ralph always finds the best sticks, jumps the highest fences and digs the deepest holes.


So, when Ralph spots the new green thing and happily takes a BIG bite, well . . . Ruffles soon decides that broccoli can't be so bad, after all. In fact, it's DELICIOUS!


Lovable and funny, Ruffles is a typical toddler in doggy form - sometimes he laughs, sometimes he sulks, but with a little bit of help and understanding, he always gets there in the end.

Ruffles needs a quiet and cosy place to hide from the scary thunderstorm, but nowhere is quite right. Not the chair . . . not the box . . . not the towel . . . not the bucket . . . not the laundry basket . . . and not the mat. Perhaps there's one place where the loud, night noises don't seem so bad.
