Editorial Reviews

Review
"...glorious fantasy that any small child will delight in." -- London Free Press

“… provides whimsical tales of a cat in search of a mysterious vagabond uncle, inviting all to enjoy.” -- The Children’s Bookwatch

From the Publisher
The three picture books collected in this single volume tell the story of Zoom, a cat in search of his mysterious, seafaring Uncle Roy. His search leads him to his uncle's friend Maria, a woman whose house holds not only the ocean (as we discover in Zoom at Sea, which The Toronto Star called "the most completely satisfying Canadian picture book ever produced"), but also, somewhere up near the attic, the North Pole (as we learn in Zoom Away), and, behind the books in the library, Egypt and its Nile (Zoom Upstream). Tim Wynne-Jones' gentle, whimsical stories are enhanced by the enchanting black-and-white illustrations, by Eric Beddows, that complement each page of text. A lasting treasure for the family library. With a Preface by James Mustich, Jr.

5.0 out of 5 stars lovely imaginative story with beautiful illustrations, August 3, 2002
By audrey (white mtns) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This lovely book contains three stories about Zoom the cat and his adventures in the house of Maria as he searches for his seafaring Uncle Roy. Maria's house is a wondrous place. The ocean is inside, as are the Arctic and a passage to Egypt. These are the kind of stories that fire kids' imaginations, and the drawings are spectacular -- reminiscent of Gustav Dore's wonderful line drawings. As with all Common Reader books, this is a fine volume -- good quality, nice paper, etc.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A whimsical tale of a cat, November 5, 2001
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This edition combines three Zoom fantasy stories under one cover: Zoom Away, Zoom At Sea, Zoom Upstream. The seagoing cat enjoys black and white drawings by Eric Beddows and a story line which requires some reading skills or parental assistance, but which provides a whimsical tale of a cat in search of a mysterious vagabond uncle, inviting all to enjoy.
