Summary from Single Ply Publishing
The Tompkins family intended to take a holiday aboard a cruise ship
bound for the Carribean, stopping on the first leg in New York.
Unfortunatley cats are not allowed on board a ship, so poor old
Bonkers would have to spend the next three weeks at dear old Mrs
McDonald's farm, with his two brothers Billy and Scruff and his sister
Ginger. Bonkers was born there three years earlier.
How could they possibly think about going on holiday and leaving me behind? Hmmm we will have to see about that thought Bonkers to himself.
Nayuleska's thoughts
When I say this book was perfect from cover
to cover I mean it. There was plenty of page time for Bonkers, more than book 1
which pleased me. He gets into quite the adventure at sea. I loved how the
Tompkins manage to make themselves known on the ship, making people love them
as much as their neighbours do - yes I'm being sarcastic. Heehee! If anything
this is more funny than book 1. There's the clever way Bonkers and co manage to
get on board without anyone noticing, there's the pictures which are as expressive
as the story (yes this time I can actually see the pictures unlike book 1...), here's the
cuteness of the cats being reunited with the Tompkins' children, and the
unexpectedly sweet ending. A perfect and hilarious read!
