Worried that the new cat in town might have an even more magnificent tail than her own, which has always been the fluffiest around, Edna the cat engages in some pre-party primping. Of course, her silliness and vanity backfire. The book has a good beginning, but the story line--and Edna's tail--become ragged. Readers who appreciate slapstick comedy may be amused by Edna's predicament.
