Rufus Comes Home Review: "Rufus" is full of love, understanding, and information - The diagnosis of diabetes is traumatic enough for an adult but even more so for a child. Rufus helps the child, family, and friends deal with this disease in an informative way that is neither too medical nor too simple. Our hospital gives the Rufus book along with the actual Rufus teddy bear to any child with a new diagnosis of diabetes. The book explains how the diabetes is managed and the bear gives the child someone else (the bear had diabetes too) to go through the shots and blood sugar tests with. I highly recommend it for anyone who has a child with diabetes even if it isn't a new diagnosis. Review: A MUST READ for young children with diabetes! - After learning of a friends, grandson's recent diagnosis, I searched for a book geared toward a small child. "Rufus Comes Home" was the perfect choice! The book provides the information needed to deal with the illness and specific care, but is written in a compassionate style that would not frighten a child. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #153,967 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,112 in Children's Books on Health | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (14) | | Dimensions | 8 x 0.25 x 8 inches | | Edition | Standard Edition | | Grade level | Preschool - 2 | | ISBN-10 | 1891383027 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1891383021 | | Item Weight | 3.68 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 32 pages | | Publication date | May 1, 2023 | | Publisher | Jayjo Books | | Reading age | 4 - 10 years | ## Images ![Rufus Comes Home - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZkziAr7VL.jpg) ![Rufus Comes Home - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GQDb5X8fL.jpg) ![Rufus Comes Home - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zJQmZKaCL.jpg) ![Rufus Comes Home - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61S0B5TRu3L.jpg) ![Rufus Comes Home - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71shvTgTCZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Rufus" is full of love, understanding, and information *by S***. on July 25, 2001* The diagnosis of diabetes is traumatic enough for an adult but even more so for a child. Rufus helps the child, family, and friends deal with this disease in an informative way that is neither too medical nor too simple. Our hospital gives the Rufus book along with the actual Rufus teddy bear to any child with a new diagnosis of diabetes. The book explains how the diabetes is managed and the bear gives the child someone else (the bear had diabetes too) to go through the shots and blood sugar tests with. I highly recommend it for anyone who has a child with diabetes even if it isn't a new diagnosis. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A MUST READ for young children with diabetes! *by S***A on May 12, 2000* After learning of a friends, grandson's recent diagnosis, I searched for a book geared toward a small child. "Rufus Comes Home" was the perfect choice! The book provides the information needed to deal with the illness and specific care, but is written in a compassionate style that would not frighten a child. ### ⭐⭐ Plot deserves 5 stars but I had a problem with the pictures *by C***S on July 1, 2001* Brian, a young boy, is diagnosed with diabetes and hospitalized. While in the hospital, he learns about his diabetes and begins to practice giving himself shots. He feels lonely and overwhelmed. His mother has the bright idea of giving him a stuffed teddy bear who also has diabetes. Brian is able to practice his shots on the bear. The bear is a source of comfort because he has to experience the shots just like Brian. I liked the story, but I really could have done without the subtle product placements all through the illustrations. I could live with discrete print advertizements in the parents' sections. I do not think that the text or the illustrations in children's books should be used to hawk specific products. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rufus Comes Home - Taking Diabetes to School (Special Kids in Schools Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/210710347-rufus-comes-home](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/210710347-rufus-comes-home) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
