Jack the cat is building the perfect nest. It’s bound to attract the perfect chicken, who will lay the perfect egg, which will make the perfect omelet. And sure enough, a chicken shows up (＂ Caramba!＂), but so do a duck (＂Sacré bleu!＂) and a goose (＂Great balls of fire!＂). Feathers get ruffled -- and Jack gets much more than breakfast -- in a funny tale rich in detail, with a sweet final twist.
