Edward, Hoppy and Joe

Mr. Beaver liked to call them the Three Musketeers. To be sure, three friends could not have been more inseparable or more adventurous then Edward Rabbit, Hoppy Toad, and Joe Possum. Sometimes, all that energy and spirit of adventure got the better of them. They had to learn, for instance, that such mechanical gadgets as automobiles and roller skates are better left for people. But they found other ways to get around. With a canoe like the Discoverer they could play hooky, rescue themselves from a circus, or even set out in search of the Wild West. "This is Robert Lawson at his very best, giving us in an engaging story with inimitable pictures more unforgettable animal characters to place alongside those in Rabbit Hill. Loveable, mischievous and wise, they will be loved by small children everywhere." -Chicago Tribune
