Illus. in full color. Bowane, the cat, has asked for the hand of a
beautiful feline and is returning to his future wife’s village with a basket of
copper and trinkets. On the way, he invites one friend after another to
accompany him. But delays stall the wedding party–for years–and when the
entourage finally reaches Tondo, they are not welcome. This satisfying tale
owes its success to a clean, straightforward telling and beautiful
illustrations. Perfect for reading aloud, this is a traveling tale for all
collections.–(starred) School Library Journal.
