Horatio is a kitten who can't understand why his fellow creatures take such pleasure in causing him pain -- until, on a trip to Greenwich from his home in London, his friend Oliver explains that the world is running on "mean time". Not one to take such news lying down, Horatio returns to London with a mission: He will stop the "mean time" and start making the world a kinder place for all. Oliver and Horatio's adventures take them down the River Thames, through Greenwich, back to London and to the top of Big Ben. As Horatio's actions capture the world's imagination, young readers are invited to envision a society in which peace and harmony replace hatred and aggression. Getting along with each other, it seems, could be a lot of fun. Horatio's message is one parent's everywhere can applaud.
