Written and Illustrated by David Melling
Ruffles loves a lot of things, like howling, scratching, eating, and playing with the teeny, tiny kittens. He does not love the snow. But when the kittens want to play outside, Ruffles decides to tag along. And it’s a good thing he does! The kittens quickly get stuck in the deep, cold snow. Even though Ruffles doesn’t like the snow, he knows he must bravely free his friends and bring them back to the warm and cozy house. And Ruffles discovers something new that he loves: helping his friends.
Ruffles is adorable and this story where he helps his friends in the snow is so cute. Our students love any dog story and this one has a dog plus 5 teeny, tiny precious kittens — BONUS!
