Rhubarb had everything a cat could possibly want-including control of a vast industrial empire and management of his own big league baseball team. But love of pretty pussycats was Rhubarb's downfall. He died one tragic night in the South Pacific, in hot pursuit of his latest favorite feline. The world mourned Rhubarb's untimely death. But what the world didn't know, and what even Rhubarb didn't know, was that before his sad demise, the celebrated cat had enjoyed a night on the town in Old San Juan, the result of which was an offspring. In this bookTiger, the spitting image of his inimitable father, emerges- anxious for his just inheritance. And therein lies this tale-a hilarious frolic in the best H. Allen Smith tradition.
