Miffy and Friends

Miffy learns to play the recorder. As music is more fun to play with other people, she asks her friends to join in. Aggie brings her accordion, Poppy Pig brings her double bass and Grunty plays the piano. Together they sound wonderful! It is a rainy day, and Miffy is a little bored. She tries different things to keep her busy; she does the dishes, sweeps the floor, draws pictures, reads a book and listens to music. Meanwhile, outside the rain has turned to snow! Now she can go out again, and discovers how wonderful it is to play with her friends in a snowy white world.

One morning Miffy hears a strange scratching sound at her front door… She meets Snuffy the brown dog, and off they go to play together. When Snuffy warns Miffy about the tap she has left running, Snuffy is the hero of the day and becomes Miffy’s newest friend. Miffy visits Boris in his workshop. He starts to make her something from his wooden planks, and Miffy tries to guess what it will be. By the end of the afternoon Miffy rides home in her new wagon in great style!

Miffy sets off to visit her Auntie Alice bringing her some flowers. On her way she trips and the flowers are crushed. Fortunately, her good friend Poppy Pig helps her by giving her fresh carrots from the garden to give to her Aunt to enjoy! Miffy’s good friend Aggie comes to stay overnight. To their surprise, they both have the same teddy bears. So when Aggie can’t get to sleep, they discover how important it is to make sure you have your own bear with you!

Auntie Alice holds a costume party for all her friends. Poppy Pig, Boris and Barbara Bear, Snuffy and Miffy all disguise themselves as each other. Who is who? They spend the whole afternoon playing, guessing and eating ice cream and cake. When the party is over, Auntie Alice even gives them all a brightly coloured balloon! Miffy goes on a great new adventure; she sets off on a camping trip with her forest friends Boris and Barbara Bear. With their heavy backpacks they walk through the beautiful springtime countryside full of butterflies and flowers. They put up their tent, cook a meal and go to sleep. How exciting it is to sleep outside!

Miffy finds out how to read a birthday calendar, and discovers that today is Snuffy’s birthday! She wonders what to give her: what do dogs like for presents? She decides to make Snuffy her own drinking bowl with her picture on it. Snuffy loves the gift! Miffy has come down with the flu; she won’t eat and just wants to sleep. But then Boris, Barbara and Aggie come to visit and bring some delicious fruit. Miffy eats some and soon feels much better.

Miffy helps her mother with the dishes. She counts how many items there are, sorts everything and puts it in its proper place. Then she realizes that one cup is missing. They search everywhere, until Miffy finds it in a very peculiar place. Miffy calls Snuffy to play with her. She gives her something to eat and drink, but the little dog is too impatient and she makes Miffy drop everything. Miffy then decides to teach Snuffy how to sit and wait for the biscuits and water– and Snuffy learns how difficult it is to be patient!
