'About this title' may belong to another edition of this title. 4-8) - Copyright ©1994, Kirkus Associates, LP. The poor thing has never even had a birthday. When Old Bear and the others hear a strange barking noise coming from the garden, they discover a little dog who has neither name nor home.

An engaging, warmhearted tale in which the delicious, nostalgic illustrations are the chief delight. Jane Hissey is best known for her series of childrens books Old Bear and Friends, which became the basis for a BAFTA award winning television series Old. Using the appealing cast of stuffed animals that she introduced in Old Bear (1986) author/illustrator Hissey creates a sweet, old-fashioned tale about a little dog who finds a home. Ruff's adventures are rendered in Hissey's distinctive style, which uses a vivid palette and carefully delineated drawings to illustrate the toys and settings of some idyllic time before the onslaught of plastic, glitter, and electronic voices transformed kids' toys-and lives-forever. But to his surprise, the animals open their paws and hearts, and Ruff has a home at last. The parties are such fun, and his new friends so nice, that Ruff hates to see the week come to an end. So Old Bear and his pals set about righting the wrongs, giving the little stranger-now called Ruff-a birthday party every day for a week to make up for all the birthdays he never had.
