Meet Ruddy Dreadful! Dreadfuls are stinky little creatures about the size of a small boy. They have sharp claws, crooked fangs, big bug eyes, furry bodies, and the kindest smiles you have ever seen. They are brilliant at many things from daredevil stunts to recycling, and Ruddy's particular skill is magic. Unfortunately Ruddy also has one or two faults. In this first story in the series, Ruddy learns how to remember the magic words: please and thank you.
