Summary
Buzby the kitten goes out to look for his first job and finds work as a busboybut he makes a few mistakes. “His sweetness wins him the support of some VIP customers, who won’t let management fire him when Buzby’s errors become too public. Perky drawings back the story, which should appeal to children’s strong sense of fair play.”BL.
