BUFFALO FLUFFALO (Random House Studio | On sale January 2,  2024 | Ages 4-8) follows a charming and goofy buffalo who tries to  bluff and fluff his way into being bigger than he really is. This laugh out-loud story by an Emmy-nominated comedy writer shows it’s  okay to be yourself. 

I’m the Buffalo Fluffalo 

I heave and I huffalo 

Leave me alone because 

I’ve had enuffalo. 

Buffalo Fluffalo arrives on the scene puffed up with self-importance.  Stomping around and raising billows of dust, Buffalo Fluffalo proclaims his superiority to the other creatures—the ram, the prairie dog, and the crow—who just want to be his  friend. So, Buffalo Fluffalo, who has had enuffalo, heads off to grumble to himself.  

Suddenly, a rain shower pours down from the clouds and—what’s this? All of his fluffalo is a soggy mess! There  Fluffalo stands, a drenched pip-squeak without his disguise. The other animals, who could see through Fluffalo’s  bravado from the start, circle around to comfort him. As prairie dog says with a smile in his eyes, You’re great how  you are, no matter your size. 

Readers will find Buffalo Fluffalo’s insecurity endearing and will be moved to reassure him. This humorous and  delightful book encourages self-acceptance with a lighthearted touch.
