About the Book
Even though Tumford the cat is well loved by George and Violet Stoutt, they despair of ever teaching him to apologize when he does something wrong.Book Synopsis
Tumford isn't really a terrible cat. He just has a way of finding mischief--tracking dirt into the house, knocking over breakable things, and disrupting fancy parties. But even though he feels bad, he has a hard time saying, "I'm sorry." Will the fact that his owners love him, no matter what, help Tummy say the magic words?
Review Quotes

"Tummy marches jubilantly in yellow galoshes, a Puss-in-Boots extraordinaire." --Chicago TribuneAbout the Author
