Miffy and Friends

It is vacation time, and Miffy and her parents go off for a trip to the mountains. Miffy is very surprised when she sees snow in the summertime. They arrive at the shore of a beautiful lake where another surprise awaits Miffy: a beautiful rowing boat. What a wonderful holiday! Every day, Miffy waits for the Post Bunny, to see if there is something for her. One day, she gets a postcard from Melanie! Miffy wants to send a postcard in return, so she draws her house and things that she can see around her. Miffy takes her card to the postbox, so she can be close to her friends even when they are far away from each other!

On a cloudy day, Miffy and Barbara Bear go out to look for some coloured leaves. When it starts to rain, Barbara walks Miffy home under her big umbrella. From the coloured leaves they have collected they make some beautiful rain clothes to wear! Grandpa and Grandma Bunny take Miffy to the beach. They remember making sandcastles when they were young, so that is what Miffy decides to do! She meets Melanie, and together they play with a ball. They won’t get lost, because the sandcastle marks the place where the family is. But then the tide comes in, and soon the sandcastle has been washed away.

On her way to Auntie Alice’s house, Miffy finds a caterpillar. She brings it over to her Auntie, who tells her that something magical will happen if Miffy visits her every week and feeds it. So, that’s what she does, but nothing happens! One day the caterpillar is suddenly all covered up. Is it ill? But then Miffy discovers the magical change that takes place. One morning, the Bunny family has no carrots left. Miffy goes over to Poppy Pig’s for some, but she has just eaten her last one. Just then Auntie Alice passes by, and invites Miffy to an exciting carrot party! All the friends are invited, and by the end even Boris and Barbara Bear love carrots!

Miffy loves colors. She knows a lot of them, and thinks that it is good there are so many! She goes to the playground with Melanie. On their way, they see all sorts of coloured things. Miffy and Melanie are different colours, but still the same. Imagine if the world was all in one colour, how boring that would be… Miffy is very happy to see a colourful rainbow! Grandma and Grandma Bunny come to visit and bring Miffy a large present. It is a scooter that Grandpa has made. Miffy and her teddy bear take the scooter to the playground, where Melanie tries it out and likes it very much.

One day, Miffy rides her scooter to Poppy Pig’s after school. When it is time to go home, she discovers that it has started to snow. Although she is very careful, Miffy slips over. She isn’t hurt, but when she arrives home she discovers that the biscuits Poppy gave her are broken. While her father takes Miffy out on her sledge, Mother Bunny bakes some fresh biscuits. Poppy Pig’s niece Grunty comes to stay overnight. As the weather is so warm, they are able to sleep in a tent out in the garden! During the night, Grunty is so afraid of all the strange sounds she can hear that the next night Miffy and Grunty sleep in a tent in Poppy Pig’s garden. Now Miffy can’t sleep. It turns out that it is Poppy’s snoring that is keeping her awake!

Miffy and her friends love their teacher. They want to make a surprise for her birthday. Together they prepare a special meal for her in the classroom. On the big day, their teacher is very happy with the surprise, and they all enjoy the feast together! At school, Miffy and her friends are learning about nature. They each have to bring something from nature into class, something big or small. Miffy tries to take a butterfly with her, but unfortunately Snuffy scares it away. Miffy has nothing to show! Then she realises that Snuffy also is part of nature. Her teacher thinks this is a clever idea, and lets Snuffy come into the classroom.
