| Publisher Description: A storm, a shipwreck, an ongoing ocean, then finally, finally a deserted isle. . . . Safety -- but wait The fifteen swimmers braving the waves are, after all . . . kitties. They are not into cooperating until, until on this desert isle they must. Here, from the creators of the witty Old Cricket, comes a wily, wise saga of sogginess, a feline fantasy about drying off (elegantly), shaping up (grumpily), getting along (at last), and loving it. |
