While visiting Mr. and Mrs. Cookie, Raggedy Ann and Andy, along with Little Weakie, the Snitznoodle, and the Hungry Howloon, have a running battle with Hookie-the-Goblin, who captures the dolls' friends or steals their things until the Raggedys go to get them back. Although the literary diet is unrelieved sugar, Gruelle's imagination will fascinate young readers, as will his fanciful color illustrations.
