So Many Cats!
PreSchool-Grade 2 In amusing verse, de Regniers explains how a family with an only cat acquires a dozen cats. Along the way, children have many chances to count the accumulating felines. Weiss' illustrations, with their cheerful colors and effective use of white space, complement the text well, and youngsters will be able to distinguish the many cats by color and demeanor. This is definitely the cats' story; the humans are rarely seen above waist level, and all attention is constantly centered on the cats. Eager counters will listen and participate enthusiastically, but cat lovers will find special delight in the book.
