A pretend one, thankfully.
She has been practicing her "rooaar!" ever since reading the new children's book, Rufus' Roar.
Rufus is a very large red monster. He is gentle and always polite, but whenever he speaks, the humans only hear his "rooaar!". When he sets out for a treat to calm his rumbling tummy, Rufus quickly finds himself in lots of trouble. All because of a teeny misunderstanding.My three-year-old daughter loves books, but many fall to the bottom of the book bin if they just can't hold her attention. The bold and colorful images and emotion-filled story of Rufus captivated her from the start. It was wonderfully age-appropriate for her, but may also be enjoyed at much older ages when they can read for themselves. We read Rufus' Roar together three times that afternoon. And we've read it daily ever since.
I'm pretty certain Rufus will stick around here for a while.
Rufus' Roar is the creation of James Novy, an award-winning cartoonist and art director out of New York City. It is his first children's book.
See Rufus now: Rufus' Roar is available for purchase on his website, RufusTheMonster.com. Both a print and downloadable PDF version are available. You can also learn more about Rufus and find fun FREE activities for your kids like coloring pages, T-shirt iron-ons, and Shrinky-Dink charms. An iPhone app is in the works, and I can't wait to see it!

Roxy would love this book. She's always drawn to books that have vivid color and great pictures. Now, if only I could get Russ to read it and do a "roar" for her. That would be too sweet!
