Mrs. McTats is a kindly woman who can`t resist adopting stray cats. Soon she has 25 pets--each named for a different letter of the alphabet. Still, without a cat whose name starts with the letter Z, Mrs. McTats`s life is incomplete. Luckily, a new pet soon arrives on her doorstep--but this time it`s not a stray cat, it`s a stray puppy--whom Mrs. McTats happily names Zoom. Illustrated with watercolor paintings.
