Ray Bradbury says that Find the Magic is “A lovely book…it’s beautiful. Read it!”

Doris Day exclaims “Find the Magic — it's magic!”

The world of Rip Squeak exists in a summer cottage in the country where no humans live ten months out of the year. The stories are about Rip Squeak and his little sister Jesse and their strange friendship with Abbey, and abandoned kitten, and a frog named Euripides.

Rip and Jesse live inside the walls of a summer cottage. Abbey prefers to befriend creatures like mice and frogs and birds rather than other cats. She introduces Rip and Jesse to her friend Euripides, a very entertaining actor and storyteller who lives and breathes the theater.

Through Rip’s own words, the books introduce the stories of these creatures and the friendships they develop, setting the stage for adventures yet to come.

Find the Magic

Rip Squeak returns in a rollicking new adventure as a trip to an old bookshop sends Rip and his friends off on fantastic journeys through imagination and history. Brave knights, fairy princesses and a magic carpet ride are all part of the fun when Rip, Jesse, Abbey and Euripides Find the Magic!

Julia Harnett Harvey’s magical paintings and Lee Cohen’s fun-filled story continue the tradition of Rip Squeak and His Friends, the best-selling series of art and books that have entertained a generation of children and adults.
