Book Description
As Puss, Jr. travels through New Mother Goose Land to meet his father, he meets new people and has several adventures. All along the way, a little bird preceded him, singing verse to introduce the next character that Puss, Jr. will meet. The road to the Castle of the Lord of Carabas is difficult, for, as Mrs. Tittle Mouse explains, "New Mother Goose Country ... does not offer to us animals the loving care which we received from der Old Mother Goose." Tom Thumb, Jack (who planted the beanstalk), and others tell stories about their adventures. The hen that laid the golden eggs told her side of the story. Puss sat with the Fairy Godmother while Cinderella went to the ball. Mother Goose and her Gander stopped in on their way home, and give Puss, Jr. a ride since her house is on the way to the Castle. They took side trips to visit the Man in the Moon, and other familiar friends. Alas, by the end of the adventures in this book Puss, Jr. has not yet found his father, but perhaps they will meet in the next book.
