by Helen La Penta ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 1, 1971
The New England odyssey of an unwanted cat who is thrown into the sea, survives to take shelter under a beached cabin cruiser, makes friends with a pet hen, and at last finds a home with a little girl who needs to be loved. The focus shifts on occasion from the cat's point of view to the conversations of various human Cape Codders who say things like ""bide a while"" and ""doggone"" and whittle when they're yarnin'. Not even a cat lover will bide very long here.
