From the publisher

Join in Ruffles’s adventures as he faces all the troubles of toddler life in this brightly colored picture book series. Ruffles loves a lot of things, like howling, scratching, eating, and playing with his bouncy ball. When Ruffles loses his bouncy ball, he’s not sure what to do. Luckily, his friend Ruby has a great idea to look for it at the park. At first Ruffles is too sad to play when he and Ruby still can’t find his bouncy ball. But when he spots Ruby in a squishy muddy puddle, Ruffles remembers that he loves those, too, and suddenly he isn’t as sad anymore. Ruffles learns that games are fun because of who you play with, and he loves playing with Ruby.
