pencil sketches

[birdie73]

I wonder if anyone out there can help me,I am doing a quiz one question showing some pencil sketches the answer being the illustrstor of them ,3 are nursery rhymes and fairy stories which I have tracked down the other 3 are baffling me. 1. A short man ,wispy hair, evening suit with very large trumpet with 4 horns. 2 .A pair of very fat fluffy cats the right hand one with his paw in the air. 3. What looks to be a rabbit with hat blowing away holding some kind of wheel against a notice saying thank you. Thanks in anticipation.

Very difficult to do from descriptions! The cats could be from T S Eliot's Old Possum - check it out.

Thanks Quizmonkey I haven,t found anything re Old Possum I think a trip to the library may be called for to look at his Illustrated Old Possum.
Thanks also Big Dave looks like it ought to be Hoffnung, but no success so far.
My thanks to you both will struggle on!
