Ruffleclaw
Oliver Latsch, Cornelia Funke
The beloved and bestselling author of Inkheart returns with a chapter book full of mischief, heart, hilarious illustrations, and pet monsters!   Goodbye, earthworms. Hello, chocolate cake!   Ruffleclaw is a furry red monster who lives under a toolshed, and he’s sick of eating bugs. When he decides to move in with a family of humans, he climbs right into bed with a boy named Tommy. Tommy wants to keep Ruffleclaw as a pet, but it won’t be easy. Ruffleclaw makes huge messes—he spits, he drinks shampoo, and he eats everything in the fridge . . . along with the plates! Can Tommy teach his monster to behave?   Cornelia Funke’s signature touch of imagination and humor delights young readers in her chapter books—Emma and the Blue Genie, The Pirate Pig, and Ruffleclaw.

Ruffleclaw is a red monster that lives under a toolsheld in Tommy's backyard. Ruffleclaw is tired of eating bugs, so he decides to explore the nearby house inhabited by humans.  He proceeds to eat everything in the young human's (Tommy) fridge. When Ruffleclaw is discovered, it is up to Tommy to keep him safe.  

Can Tommy teach Ruffleclaw how to behave so he can keep him a secret from his family? Or will Ruffleclaw be discovered?
