For little Holly, a rainy day is even more dreary than being sick in bed. After her dad surprises her with a small, stuffed, gray dog, her brother names him Wuffy and notices that he has an odd lintball on his nose. Together, they imagine how Wuffy has magical powers that take him on adventures, beginning with his friend from the candy store, where he started. All is well until one day, Wuffy’s lintball goes missing! What will he do?

Together, they try to replace the magical lintball to bring the magic back. “As much as Holly and Jack tried, it was not the same lintball. Wuffy was not happy.” Finally, the brother and sister find the perfect lintball and Wuffy is off to new adventures. In a classic story of using one’s imagination to overcome boredom or trying days, the characters rise to the occasion and take the reader on an adventure.

In the first in a series, Wuffy and the Magic Lintball’s Wuffy, the scowl-faced, stuffed dog who once sat alone on a store shelf becomes a favorite toy and friend. His stories bring the siblings (based on the author and her brother) closer together and help readers realize they can make the best of a situation. They may even surprise themselves with how the soggy day becomes a fun one.
