Teddy's RUFF Day!

Teddy's RUFF Day is a social emotional picture book about:

• friendship
• overcoming self-doubt

Teddy MacDougal is a West Highland Terrier and one cool canine pup who drives an old VW BUS. Every time Teddy tries to practice his one-of-a-kind barking voice for the upcoming Dog BARK Contest, Teddy's bark is cut off by another dog! It seems like the only thing Dogwood's canines want to talk about is his vintage VW BUS. Will Teddy ever get a chance to show us his bark? RUH-ROH!

Teddy's RUFF Day will help you to understand:

• the importance of listening skills
• and the power of your own voice

When you embrace your own individual uniqueness, you will find people will love you just the way you are.

Find the hidden message woven into the book about choosing kindness. Sing along with all the funny sounds and barks known as onomatopoeias (the process of creating a word that imitates the sound it describes) like when a dog barks "WOOF!" or a ball bounces "BOING!" shown in starburst shapes throughout the book.

This interactive, sound picture book is fun for ages 3-9. And Volkswagen BUS lovers everywhere!
