Hundvalpen Rufus älskar INTE sin nya röda jacka. Inte ens yttepytte lite grann.

Nej. Nej. Nej. NEJ! Men när Rufus ska leka utomhus i vattenpölarna med sin bästa kompis Rut, kanske det inte är så dumt att ha på sig jackan ändå?  

Rufus och den nya, röda jackan är en charmig bok med stor igenkänning för både smååringar och deras föräldrar. Kampen om rätt kläder efter väder är nog något vi alla kan relatera till.
