On an outing with her mother, Rachael the cat tries to convince her skeptical cousin David (a dog) that Momma can find absolutely anything in her magical purse. Indeed, Momma extracts an increasingly preposterous series of objects from her handbag, including rain gear, a huge picnic lunch, and a Rescue Kit. Bogan's cartoon-style illustrations embroider on the exaggerations in the amusing text.
