Ruffles and the Red, Red Coat

This brightly colored picture book introduces Ruffles, a lovable dog who embodies the trials and tribulations of toddler life. Ruffles loves digging and chewing, but absolutely detests his red raincoat. Parents will recognize the familiar 'no, no, no' as Ruffles resists. The story gently guides Ruffles, and young readers, to understand that sometimes accepting something uncomfortable, like a coat on a rainy day, can lead to wonderful experiences, especially when friends are involved. It's a sweet tale about managing big feelings, compromise, and the joy of friendship and outdoor play.

Join in with Ruffles as he faces all the trials and tribulations of toddler life in this brightly colored new picture book series from award-winning author and illustrator David Melling. 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 wearing his red 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 sometimes wearing a raincoat is a very good idea after all.
