The story of how Daniel--who loves cats but is very allergic to their fur--has a bionic cat built for him by his neighbour and engineer, Professor George. Boing-Boing is just like a real cat, but with fiber-optic fur, computer-controlled joints, electronic eyes, and ceramic-sensor whiskers. Daniel and Boing-Boing's first adventure together takes place in the Natural History Museum in London, where the friends get more than they bargained for in this delightful gem of a tale.
