Join in Ruffles’s adventures as he faces all the troubles of toddler life in this brightly colored series, now available as board books.
As Ruffles learns about the world around him, he discovers there are lots of things he likes . . . and some things he doesn’t! He loves scratching, digging, and chewing, but he does not like the teeny, tiny kittens. No, no, no, no, NO! They pounce and purr and snore and chase and poop! Worst of all, they want to play with Ruffles’s blue blanket, and Ruffles doesn’t want to share. But the teeny, tiny kittens don’t understand, and there’s trouble when the blue blanket is accidentally ripped. Luckily, Ruffles’s new feline friends show him how sharing together is the very best way to make friends and play.
Both Ruffles and the kittens are drawn in a soft, endearing style. They’re truly in the top echelon of adorable animals. An action-packed read aloud with truly incredible animal art. —School Library Journal
