Ruff!: And the Wonderfully Amazing Busy Day

32 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | June, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-201498-6 $17.99
(4) K-3 Text by Gillian Shields. Dog Ruff stays busy cleaning, weeding, planting flowers, and so forth. When his home beautification efforts inadvertently trash mouse Hubble's house, guilt-ridden Ruff plugs away rebuilding. He discovers that working with a friend is more fun than toiling alone (and having roommates is pretty great, too). The story meanders, but Ruff's benevolent nature is in full bloom in the welcoming illustrations.
