The Roly-Poly PuddingTom Kitten is full of playfulness and mischief. First he hides from his mother, and then he sneaks off to explore the chimney flue in their old farmhouse. When grimy little Tom accidentally tumbles into the home of a couple of enormous white rats, he finds himself in a dangerous adventure that is much more than he bargained for. Crotchety old Samuel Whiskers and his wife, Anna Maria, agree that Tom Kitten would taste mighty delicious rolled in dough as a "roly-poly pudding" for dinner. Poor Tom is in a terrible predicament! Will his worried mother, Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit, be able to locate her missing kitten before it is too late? |
