The Story of a China Cat Laura Lee Hope

Publisher Marketing: Toot Toot Tootity-toot-toot Goodness me who is blowing the horn? asked the Talking Doll, as she sat up on the shelf in the toy shop. This isn't Friday; and we don't want any fish Speak for yourself, if you please, said a large, white China Cat, who had just finished washing a few specks of dirt off her shiny coat with her red tongue. I could enjoy a bit of fish right now. I should rather have pie, said the Talking Doll. But who blew the horn? That is what I'd like to know. No one has a horn in this toy shop that I know anything about. It wasn't a horn-that was a trumpet, said another voice. I'll blow it again Then there sounded a jolly noise through the quiet toy shop, which was in darkness except for one electric light in the middle of the store. Toot Toot Tootity-toot-toot echoed the merry notes.
