What is The Gruffle in Puddle Lane about?

The Gruffle likes peace and quiet, but his bad temper often gets him into trouble. One day, he decides to take a walk through Puddle Lane. Before long, his grumbling brings him face to face with the lane’s other residents, including Mr Puffle. A watering can, an unexpected mishap and the Gruffle’s own cross behaviour soon turn his walk into a very uncomfortable adventure. Will he learn to calm down, or will his temper lead to another muddle?
