Based on the British cartoon strip ''Pip, Squeak & Wilfred'' that appeared in the Daily Mail newspaper between 1919 and 1956. It was created by Bertram Lamb, also known as Uncle Dick and featured the adventures of three friends - a dog called Pip, a Penguin called Squeak and a rabbit called Wilfred. The cartoon was very popular and spawned annuals, toys and china, along with some animated films. This book is from a series of 4 die-cut books, all with moving heads. Two were similar to this one featuring the lives of Pip and Squeak respectively, while the other was called ''The Adventures of Pip & Squeak'' and featured a cover showing all three animals riding in a tub. Wilfred's life story tells how he was found in a turnip field and adopted by Pip and Squeak. Very Scarce.
