Synopsis

Three beloved titles appear together at last in this deluxe gift edition. Zoom the cat has taken readers on many adventures — from discovering the sea at the turn of a giant wheel, to visiting the North Pole on ping-pong-paddle snowshoes, to sailing on the Nile into Egypt to free a friend from a mummy's wrap — and the adventurous cat has captivated children and adults alike with his delightful antics for over two decades. The Zoom books feature charming illustrations, and this specially bound gift edition is a keepsake for readers of all ages.
