    About Millions of Cats (Gift Edition)

    The original American classic with a refrain that millions of kids love to chant: Hundreds of cats, thousands of cats, millions and billions and trillions of cats.

    Once upon a time there was an old man and an old woman who were very lonely. They decided 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 decide which one would 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 of Wanda Gág’s original 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 whole new generation of readers.

    About Millions of Cats (Gift Edition)

    The original American classic with a refrain that millions of kids love to chant: Hundreds of cats, thousands of cats, millions and billions and trillions of cats.

    Wanda Gág’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 by Putnam in 1928, it was a recipient of the 1929 Newbery Honor Award and has gone on to sell over a million copies.

    With its charming illustrations and rhythmic, singsong refrain, Millions of Cats remains as beloved today as it was when this original edition first appeared almost a century ago.
