I had a children’s (picture) book in the 60’s called something like “Caroline and her Friends.” Caroline was a little girl but her friends were all animals. They traveled around the world. I don’t remember much text, but the illustrations were marvelous and detailed, sometimes a 2-page spread, in which each animal friend was doing something that fit their nature: being scared or brave etc. There was a storyline of being castaway after their ship sank, they built a raft, ended up in India where they helped a prince regain his kingdom (he’s trapped in a pit with a tiger when they first find him, I think).  There may have been two books in a series. At the end of one, they return to Caroline’s house and do spring cleaning. At the end of another, they are in a ski resort, one of the animals breaks a leg and has to stay inside. I may not actually have the name Caroline right. My mother threw this book away when it got moldy in the attic and I’ve longed to see it again for years.

This is a children’s book from the early to mid 1960’s.  It is slightly taller than it is wide ;  a little taller than a Golden Book.  I remember the cover  illustration as having the color green in it.   It is not a hardcover but a  laminate.   The  pair ride from country to city.

This is a story probably from late 80s early 90s (definitely no later than the mid 90s) where there is a little boy who explores the woods with his dog (scottish terrier?) with a flashlight  and I remember the illustrations having a lot of dark colors with him returning to his well lit and warm home
