Dog-lovers won’t be able to resist the adorable Ruffles in this new preschool series from the creator of Hugless Douglas (over 5 million copies sold worldwide).
Ruff! Ruff! Meet Ruffles, the playful puppy who faces all the tricksy troubles of preschool life in this new picture book series from the award-winning 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!.
Ruffles LOVES scratching, digging and chewing but he does NOT like wearing his coat on rainy days. No, no, no, no, NO! But when Ruffles wants to splash in puddles with his best friend, Ruby, he soon learns that some things are definitely worth wearing your coat for!

We love and own all the Hugless Douglas books so we were excited find this new series by David Melling.
Ruffles is the most adorable little dog. He loves lots of things: chewing, scratching, singing but he DOES NOT like to wear his new coat!!
Ruffles does like to splash in puddles a lot and play with his friend Ruby so in the end he decides it might be worth wearing his coat after all!
This is such a great little story and one every toddler (and parent!) can relate too. I'm hoping it will help to persuade my 2 year old that he needs to wear his helmet to go on his scooter (after falling off and bumping his head recently.)
A fantastic new book. We love the Ruffle series!

Colourful and winsome, this book shows a dog who dislikes his bright red coat, so he gets rid of it – but when his heart goes pitter-patter with his girly dog friend wearing a similar thing, you never know, he might just change his mind. An unusual structure here allows every page to take the option of being a clear, uncluttered sentence per page (or spread), or to be part of a set of much longer, multi-element sentences, illustrated nine times. The smaller cartoons allow for liveliness and action, and it all ends up being a slight but very enjoyable little read for enjoyable little readers. Plus a QR code lets your mobile play an audio version, free of charge, for added accessibility.
