Characters:

Risky Rat loves any sort of adventure. The trouble is—he’s a scaredy-cat and his day is full of mishaps. He’s terrified of billy goats, bullies and snakes, and needs binoculars to see. But he loves to sneak a ride in Auntie Ding’s red sports car and has a liking for cupcakes.

Cunning Cat likes to rule the roost–but no, she’s not a chook! It means she’s bossy. She’s not afraid of anything. Or is she hiding something? She’ll do anything for a tin of sardines.

Tricky dog loves tricks—that’s why he likes all things do with a circus. He can’t resist anything with wheels, especially dump trucks. He’s laid-back, carefree and fickle when it comes to his favorite food. But he always hates hotdogs.
