The Woofits is a series of children's books written in the 1980s by British television and radio personality Michael Parkinson, best known for his TV chat shows.
The stories featured the Woofits, a family of anthropomorphic dog-like creatures who lived in the fictional Yorkshire coal mining village of Grimeworth (based on the real life Cudworth where Parkinson was born and nearby village of Grimethorpe). Most of the inhabitants of Grimeworth were Woofits (and had the surname "Woofit"), although humans also appeared in the stories.
The four original books published in 1980 by Collins of London were
- The Woofits Day Out
- The Woofits Play Cricket
- The Woofits Play Football
- The Daily Woofit
In addition there were Woofit annuals for the years 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1983.
In some of the annuals the setting for the stories was moved from Grimeworth to Batley in West Yorkshire where the Woofits worked at a woollen mill and were of Scottish origin.
