lovely imaginative story with beautiful illustrations

This lovely book contains three stories about Zoom the cat and his adventures in the house of Maria as he searches for his seafaring Uncle Roy. Maria's house is a wondrous place. The ocean is inside, as are the Arctic and a passage to Egypt. These are the kind of stories that fire kids' imaginations, and the drawings are spectacular -- reminiscent of Gustav Dore's wonderful line drawings. As with all Common Reader books, this is a fine volume -- good quality, nice paper, etc.Highly recommended.

A whimsical tale of a cat

This edition combines three Zoom fantasy stories under one cover: Zoom Away, Zoom At Sea, Zoom Upstream. The seagoing cat enjoys black and white drawings by Eric Beddows and a story line which requires some reading skills or parental assistance, but which provides a whimsical tale of a cat in search of a mysterious vagabond uncle, inviting all to enjoy.
