==Books== Almost 32 Miffy titles have been published and many more for the other characters. Bruna has produced a total of 124 picture books for children. The Miffy books each contain twelve pages of story. Each page has one illustration and four lines of verse, the last word of the second line rhymes with the last of the fourth. They are written about things that children can understand, and situations they will face such as going to the hospital and going to school, and they always have a happy ending. Some books have no text at all, such as ''Miffy's Dream''. The books are printed in small format. Bruna considers it important that his audience feels that his books are there for them, not for their parents. Most Miffy books have an advisory reading level of age four to eight years. Bruna's books have been translated into more than 50 different languages, and over 85 million copies have been sold all over the world.<ref name=Telegraph /> It is also translated in dialects, including in [[Zeelandic]] by [[Engel Reinhoudt]].<ref name=auto>{{Cite web|url=https://myprivacy.dpgmedia.net/?siteKey=T95VvHnpH6PXut6j&callbackUrl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.pzc.nl%2fprivacy-gate%2faccept%3fredirectUri%3d%252fbevelanden%252fzanger-en-dialectschrijver-engel-reinhoudt-overleden%257ea1611928%252f%253freferrer%253dhttps%253a%252f%252fen.wikipedia.org%252f|title= Zanger en dialectschrijver Engel Reinhoudt overleden |website=PZC}}</ref> Dick Bruna has won many awards for his books, such as the Golden Brush in 1990, for ''Boris Bear'' and the Silver Brush for ''Miffy In The Tent'' in 1996. In 1997, he was awarded the Silver Slate for ''Dear Grandma Bunny'', a book where Miffy's grandmother was sick and died. The other characters that appear in the books are her family: Miffy's parents, her Grandma and Grandpa, her Auntie Alice, and 'Uncle Bob', a family friend, who appears in ''Miffy Goes Flying''. A new brother or sister for Miffy is introduced in ''Miffy And The New Baby''. She also has many friends, Boris and Barbara Bear, who first appeared in 1989 and are boyfriend and girlfriend, Poppy Pig, who appeared in 1977, and her niece Grunty, Snuffy, who appeared in 1969, and other bunnies such as Aggie and Melanie.
