In Jenny Goes to Sea, our heroine makes her passage on the good ship
Sea Queen with her master, Captain Tinker, and her adopted brothers,
tiger cat Edward, and black-and-white cat Checkers. Once on board, they
meet the adventurous ship's cat, Jack Tar.
Leaving New York's harbor, the friends travel to Africa and Asia, and
return through the Panama Canal. At each port they meet a colorful local
cat who shows them around. Jenny and her pals have their fortunes told
by an Abyssinian cat in Zanzibar; dance the sailor's hornpipe with Bobo
the Burmese, another ship's cat who was left behind, in Singapore; and
float with Siamese cat Dara in a sampan boat on a Bangkok river--a truly
exotic adventure.
