Tenino's Adventure Through Italy Cathy Robbins

Tenino the cat lived on an Italian farm. He longed to visit exciting cities that Italy offered.

He started on his great adventure. As he traveled between cities, he crossed countrysides with vineyards, sunflower fields, and pasturelands. In each city, he met a new feline friend.

Tenino started in Sorrento where he ate his first ocean fish dinner. On to Assisi where he admired the basilica. Outside Venice, he rode in a water taxi. In Venice he watched people riding on gondolas.

Spectacular Renaissance architecture and artworks in Florence dazzled him. The Leaning Tower of Pisa amazed him. When he became homesick for the farm, the stables in Siena--known for its horse races--comforted him.

The last, long part of his journey led Tenino to Rome. There he found the cats he'd longed to discover. He knew he was home.
