Millions of Cats (Picture Puffin Books)

by Wanda Gag

Millions of Cats (Picture Puffin Books) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

'Wanda Gg\'s enchanting tale of the very old man who went off in search of the prettiest cat in the world for his wife and returned instead with millions to choose from has become an American classic, widely recognized as the first modern picture book. First published in 1928, it was a recipient of the 1929 Newbery Honor Book Award and has gone on to sell over a million copies. With its charming illustrations and rhythmic, sing-song refrain, Millions of Cats remains as beloved today as it was when it first appeared three-quarters of a century ago.'

Review:

'\"This Newbery Honor winner is distinguished by innovative design and a strong storyteller\'s cadence.\" (School Library Journal\'s \"One Hundred Books that Shaped the Century\")

\"A perennial favorite.\" (The New York Times) '

Synopsis:

How an old couple came to have just one cat to call their own is a classic tale that has been loved for generations. A Newbery Honor Book. Illustrations.
