Millions of Cats (Gift Edition) (Picture Puffin Books)
Millions of Catsis a wonderful tale of vanity versus humility, written and illustrated by the singular Wanda Gag. An old man and his wife  decide to get a cat, so the old man goes out in search of the prettiest cat of  all. When he is forced to choose from "hundreds, thousands, millions and billions and trillions" of cats, he (naturally) brings them all home. When the wife points out their inability to  support the legion of felines, it is left to the cats to decide 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 perfect for the story, somehow  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)--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
