A flustered cat is on the verge of crying fowl in a
farmyard story that will crack kids up.
Jack the cat is building the perfect nest. It's bound to attract
the perfect chicken, who will lay the perfect egg, which will make
the perfect omelet. And sure enough, a chicken shows up
("¡Caramba!"), but so do a duck ("Sacré bleu!") and a goose ("Great
balls of fire!"). Feathers get ruffled - and Jack gets much more
than breakfast - in a funny tale rich in detail with a sweet final
twist.
