Traveling to Tondo

“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.
