Zoom at Sea

I discovered this book a few years ago by accident on the bargain table of my local bookstore. What a delight! From the first page I was entranced by the concise and clever text, and the joyful, detailed illustrations. Zoom, the cat who loves water (but not to drink...to drink he likes cream) endears the reader to him with his sense of wonder and adventure, and his kindness (even his politeness!). I've given this book as a gift three times since I bought myself a copy, and it's always received rave reviews. I hear it's being reprinted in 2001. Now that I'll be able to find this book again, I'm planning on buying another copy just so I can have framed the illustration of Zoom, leaping for joy as his raft rides the ocean waves, calling back to his new friend Maria, "More fish!" ------- More Zoom!
