Bookroo's summary
Annie's cat, Taffy, vanishes, leaving her lonely. In search of new friends, she ventures to the woods, offering corn cakes to entice furry companions. Instead, a moose and a bear devour her treats, leaving her disheartened. Just when hope seems lost, Taffy returns with a delightful surprise—three playful kittens. Annie's heart fills with joy as her family grows in unexpected ways. Will these new friends bring the companionship she craves?
