In this humorous tale, Angela Throgmorton rejoices when she wins a deluxe vacation; now she can spend time away from Old Tom, her scruffy, demanding cat. But once she's on her way, everything seems to remind her of Old Tom--not surprisingly, since he's actually a stowaway on her trip. Funny cartoon illustrations offer glimpses of Old Tom in various exotic locales.

Fiona the pig and her parents are nothing alike. Fiona likes everything clean and beautiful; her parents are--well, pigs. Distressed by their daughter's orderliness, they try to clean up and become cultured, but alas, it isn't possible. In the end they realize they love each other, and that's the important thing. The sketchy cartoon illustrations add humor to this story of a family learning acceptance.
