About This Book

Three animal companions—a goat, a dog, and a cat—return to the United States after wartime service and tumble into a series of lighthearted episodic adventures. They come ashore under sailors' care, join clubs and public events, and cause mischief at school, fairs, and holiday celebrations; they stow away on a dirigible, deliver urgent messages, and become involved with a traveling show whose elephants and an escaped panther spark pandemonium. Episodes move between daring escapes, family travel to a city park and circus, and the rescue of lost children, with recurring themes of loyalty, courage, and resourceful mischief.
