Books
In the early-to-mid 1960s, there were at least five Sooty annuals published by the London Daily Mirror. These features an expanded cast of characters including:
- Sooty, who was shown as white not yellow and wore red trousers.
- Sweep, also white not grey, who walked on all fours like a normal dog, but could stand as a biped to play the bugle and so on.
- Cokey the clown, another close friend of Sooty.
- Mr Fusspot, Mayor of TV Town where the action takes place.
- PC Nab, one of the police of TV Town.
- Calico Joe, a fully clothed cat who smokes, always stands erect as a biped, and is a con man.
- Ali Artful, a black man who wears a fez and everyone knows is a thief.
A Sooty annual also appeared in 1991-92.

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“Many are engaged in writing books and printing them,
Many desire to see their names in print,
Many read nothing but the race reports.
Much is your reading, but not the Word of GOD....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
