Riassunto:

Ruff Ruffman, the lovably charismatic host of FETCH!, jumps from screen to page with a pair of readers that combine comical stories with real-life science.

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.

Recensione: This hits the right marks with respect to chapter length, print size, and goofy appeal to make transitional readers comfortable, and the familiar media face is likely to snag a broad audience.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

A “PBS KIDS” beginning chapter book with an engaging story told in four short chapters... Emerging readers will enjoy humorous, cartoonlike illustrations... A quirky sense of humor and simple plot will appeal to most new readers and with timely subjects such as green energy, DIY, and self-destructing pants, it’s a fun read. A science experiment that is easy and safe to do without parental help is included at the end of the book. This goofy book will be popular.
