Douglas the bear has just been given a hat by his father. But despite his father's advice to take care of the hat, the hat gets caught on a tree and turns into a long string of spaghetti. How will Douglas ever tell his dad?

"As Ruffles learns about the world around him, he discovers there are lots of things he likes . . . and some things he doesn't! He loves scratching, digging, and chewing, but he does not like wearing his red coat on rainy days. No, no, no, no, NO! But when Ruffles wants to splash in puddles with his best friend, Ruby, he soon learns that sometimes wearing a raincoat is a very good idea after all."--

Ruffles loves many things, but not the snow, still he tags along when the kittens go outside and it's a good thing he does because they get stuck in deep, cold snow and Ruffles must bravely free his friends.

Ruffles loves a lot of things, like digging, running, and sleeping. He does not love loud noises, especially at night. When Ruffles sees a flash and hears a loud bang, he knows that can only mean one thing: a thunderstorm! But there's no place in the house that feels like just the right hiding spot from the storm outside. Hiding places should be quiet, safe, and most of all, cozy. That's when Ruffles realizes the best place to be is his very own bed...
