Hobee's Quest: over Mt. Tomtoo Robert B. Chambers

First in a series of Hobee's Quest Books (Theme: Indifference) that are Non-Violent, is a half duck and half mouse named Hobee that is searching for others like himself. His search soon turns into a quest for the top of Mt. Tomtoo and the community of Solitude. He helps others along his way and in turn they find the Pauper Babies and clues about the Marching Rodent Explorers. In the community of Solitude Hobee meets all the strange and unique animals that live there like the Jack-a-lope, Nagha, Platypus, and others. After an exhausting search of his home island, Hobee decides to set sail and go abroad to search elsewhere for others like himself.
