The Zoom Trilogy (Common Reader Editions)

Rating:
Summary: A whimsical tale of a cat
Review: 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.

Summary: lovely imaginative story with beautiful illustrations
Review: 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.
