THE BOOKS

The first children's book in the Rip Squeak and His Friends series was published in English in September 2001. Two other children's books by Leonard Filgate and Susan Yost Filgate, The Treasure (originally published as Rip Squeak and His Friends Discover the Treasure) and The Adventure (originally published as Off on Adventure), followed. The Gift of Giving, a Christmas-themed book was just released in December 2020 as a digital book. The hardback editions of those books are sold out and we hope to make some of the titles available in the future as newly edited and formatted books so a new generation of children and adults can continue to enjoy them. In the meantime, please enjoy the digital versions--just click the book cover below to get more information and a link to purchase and download. New title is coming soon: A Fairy Tale. Also, Spanish language editions of Rip Squeak and His Friends and The Treasure are in development. 

The Missing Kingdom, Animals Make Me Smile, Los animales me hacen feliz, and Counting Animals/Contando animales are available as paperbacks through Amazon.com.
