You could look on abebooks or on amazon as there are lots of 2nd hand books in the marketplace.

Have found these

And these on amazon.

Seems there is a 1988 hardback and 1989 paperback edition.

Which one is it by the way?

the paperback one

Its about a group of friends (willy, wally, tilly & "i") and theyre on a a walk when they see a rhino and have to get away from it, they spend the whole book trying to get away from him but at the end they turn to him and say "why did you follow us?" and he says "i followed you...to be your friend"

The bit i remember goes:-

There was willy there was wally there was tilly there was i, 4 fine brave adventures beneath the bright blue sky.

we were full of fun and laughter until tilly turned and said "look there wally, look there willy, whats that, up ahead"

we looked we turned we looked again, alas he was still there,
a huge great grey rhinoceros sniffing at the air

Just cant remember the rest!

my mum used to read it to me and my brother when we were little, and it was he absolute favourite book to read to us, she can still quote it! but it got lost when we moved house years ago so thought id try and get a copy for xmas!

thak you so much again!
