The concept for Rufus Rhymes came from my simple daily interactions with my dogs. Like so many other people, I have always talked to my pets and commonly "refur" to myself as 'Dad' and my wife Buff as 'Mom.' So, for me it was natural to do a book you can read to your dog (or child). I wanted it to have that same cozy feel that nursery rhyme books have for children, but of course the words needed to be dog-related. I asked my good friend Andy Demsky, a writer, to take a few common nursery rhymes and write new dog-centric lyrics. He wrote two great lullabies that I instantly connected with - Rock-a-Bye Rufus and Twinkle, Twinkle I'm a Star. And so started the journey of Rufus Rhymes...
Best,
Ron Burns
"Enchanting... potently hued, get-lost-in-the-illustrations visual storytelling." – Award-winning pet journalist Sharon Peters, USA Today
"Animal artist Ron Burns gives a fresh, dog-centric twist to classic lullabies, each brought to life with Burns' vibrant images. "Rock-a-Bye Rufus" and "Twinkle Twinkle I'm a Star" are among the many lullabies you can sing to your kids - or dogs - at bedtime." – Amy Sacks, New York Daily News
