Description

Once upon a time there used to be an old man and an old woman who were very lonely. They determined to get a cat, but when the old man went out searching, he found not one cat, but millions and billions and trillions of cats! Unable to come to a decision which one will be the best pet, he brought them all home. How the old couple came to have just one cat to call their own is a classic tale that has been loved for generations. Winner of a Newbery Honor, this collector’s edition—featuring a heavy interior stock, spot gloss and embossing on the cover, and a thread-sewn binding—will bring this beloved tale to a complete new generation of readers.
Millions of Cats is a wonderful tale of vanity versus humility, written and illustrated by the singular Wanda Gag. An old man and his wife come to a decision to get a cat, so the old man goes out looking for the prettiest cat of all. When he is forced to make a choice from “hundreds, thousands, millions and billions and trillions” of cats, he (naturally) brings them all home. When the wife points out their inability to improve the legion of felines, it is left to the cats to come to a decision who among them is the prettiest. Anyone who has ever owned more than a single cat can tell you what happens next.

Gag’s simple, appealing black ink drawings are ideal for the story, by hook or by crook capturing at least the idea of millions of cats in a single page. Repeated lines and the sing-song title refrain make this a read-aloud natural.(Ages 4 to 8)
