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.

Dog-lovers won't be able to resist the adorable Ruffles in this new series from the creator of Hugless Douglas which has sold over 2 million copies worldwide.

Other titles in the series include: Ruffles and the Red, Red Coat and Ruffles and the Teeny, Tiny Kittens.

About the Author

David grew up in London with various siblings and a selection of animals (the dog is probably worth a mention). His father was a sculptor and David remembers watching him work and being fascinated as carved faces and figures emerged from blocks of wood and stone. It took him a while to decide what he wanted to do with his pencils (he never stopped drawing), and for a period of time, back in the 1980's, he worked as a cel-renderer and background artist in several animation studios.

By the mid 1990's he began illustrating children's books. In 2001 he wrote and illustrated the first of his own picture books; The Kiss That Missed which was shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway award. He is probably best known for his Hugless Douglas series. To date he has created around 150 books in over 30 languages.

David lives in Oxfordshire with his wife and two children. Currently, there are no pets to speak of, now he's over the hamster/stick insect phase.
