Ruff Ruffman is having a bad day. First, his fancy pants get stolen, then he gets a message from his boss that seems to say he’s been fired! There’s only one way for him to find out: visit his boss in Australia. To do this, of course, Ruff turns his doghouse into a "green" vehicle (powered by cooking oil from a Chinese restaurant) and adds pineapples to keep it from sinking. Inspired by this Ruff-and-ready innovation, young readers are invited to create their own tinfoil boats, then load them with pennies to test how well they float.

I used to watch Fetch! growing up and I loved the show, so I was super excited to read this book with my kids. It's cute, silly and entertaining, just like the show. I was not disappointed!

The story line is cheesy, just like the show, which is awesome! Ruff blows everything out of proportion and takes the long way around, but it's expected. While Blossom is truly the star of this book (in my opinion, and the hero), the cat takes a back seat to Ruff. I Love Blossom though.

This book even comes with a fun science activity in the back of the book! My entire family had fun with this book!
