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 colored things. Miffy and Melanie are different colors, but still the same. Imagine if the world was all in one color, how boring that would be… Miffy is very happy to see a colorful rainbow! Grandma and Grandpa 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 is also part of nature. Her teacher thinks this is a clever idea, and lets Snuffy come into the classroom.

It is Father Bunny’s birthday. Mother Bunny sends Miffy to Auntie Alice to borrow some chocolate, butter and flour for a splendid cake. On her way she meets Poppy and Barbara, who tell her what is on their shopping lists. When she arrives home, Miffy has brought vanilla, cream and sugar – perfect ingredients for some delicious birthday ice cream. Miffy is walking through the forest. She collects lots of beautifully colored autumn leaves. Boris helps her make some picture frames for them, but by the time they get back, a breeze has blown away some of the leaves and only five are left…Miffy gives the framed leaves away as presents, but there is one left. She has saved that one for a special purpose.

Miffy and her father are at the beach on a very windy day. They put up a tent for shelter, and play with a ball. It seems perfect weather for flying a kite, but the wind is too strong and the kite gets broken. Miffy is very sad as they go home. But when she wakes up the next morning, her beautiful kite has been mended. What a clever father she has! One morning, Miffy wakes up very late. She has to rush and everything goes wrong: she has a mark on her dress, she forgets her lunch and can’t find an apple for her teacher. When she finally arrives at school, the door is locked! It turns out to be a school holiday...

One day, Snuffy is having fun playing, barking and running around the woods with Boris, Barbara, Melanie and Poppy. This makes her very tired, and soon she falls fast asleep. When Miffy finds her, Snuffy doesn’t move at all! Miffy is worried, but fortunately Snuffy’s nose is still working as she smells some tasty food. Poppy Pig is working very hard in the garden, and Grunty doesn’t feel like helping her. When Miffy offers to help, she discovers how much fun it can be to rake leaves. They jump in the piles of leaves, until Mother Bunny asks Miffy to help in her garden: this time Grunty wants to join in too!

At school Miffy watches a flower grow from a tiny seed. She is very surprised to see it happen, and wonders whether everything she plants in the ground will grow into something nice. She decides to give it a try when she breaks a cup. Will the broken piece become a cup again? Miffy and her father want to make a house for Snuffy, so that she can stay at their house sometimes. They go to Boris’s house, to collect some wood. Boris has already cut it into the right sized pieces, but Miffy and Father Bunny still can’t seem to get it right. Then Boris comes along, and soon Snuffy can settle into her new home.

Miffy and Snuffy take some freshly baked biscuits to Boris and Barbara. On their way, Miffy loses the present, but luckily Barbara has enough treats for a feast. When Miffy wants to go home, Snuffy has suddenly disappeared. Miffy finds the empty bag of lost biscuits, next to a sleeping dog and a lot of crumbs. Miffy and her classmates learn about the seasons of the year. When she and Melanie ride home on their scooter, the fine sunny weather suddenly changes into rain. Then, the wind starts to blow very hard, and the rain turns into snow. They are having a whole year’s worth of seasons in just one day!

Miffy visits her grandparents, and learns to make things by putting things together. First she bakes a cake, together with Grandma Bunny, and then she and Grandpa Bunny make a wooden box for the cake to go into. When she arrives home she is very proud of herself...and so are her parents! Miffy has a surprise for her mother. She lets her search everywhere for it: in Miffy’s room, the kitchen, and the garden. Then, when Miffy decides to finally show her the surprise, it turns out to be missing! Fortunately, Snuffy is around to help…

Miffy is at the beach with her father. She is careful of the hot sun, and tries to stay in the shade. This isn’t easy, but then the sun sets and the whole beach is in the shade. As they drive home, Miffy dreams of the bright yellow sun. On the last day before the summer holidays, Miffy and Melanie make a present to give to their teacher. She is very pleased with her decorated flowerpot and paper tulips.They play in the playground, and at the end of the day everyone takes a plant home. The flowerpot and paper tulip stay in the windowsill, waiting for them to return...
