Tumford the Terrible - by Nancy Tillman (Board Book)

About the Book

Even though Tumford the cat is well loved by George and Violet Stoutt, they despair of ever teaching him to apologize when he does something wrong.

Book Synopsis

Tumford isn't really a terrible cat. He just has a way of finding mischief--tracking dirt into the house, knocking over breakable things, and disrupting fancy parties. But even though he feels bad, he has a hard time saying, "I'm sorry." Will the fact that his owners love him, no matter what, help Tummy say the magic words?

Review Quotes

"Tumford exists to deliver a lesson on the importance of apologizing sincerely; with his chubby tummy and slick yellow boots, he looks as if he might have had some interesting adventures, but Tillman (On the Night You Were Born) stays on message." --Publishers Weekly

"Tummy marches jubilantly in yellow galoshes, a Puss-in-Boots extraordinaire." --Chicago Tribune
