Millions of Cats

Wanda Gág



Book Description

Millions of Cats by Wanda Gág is a beloved children's picture book, first published in 1928, that tells a whimsical and timeless tale about an elderly couple’s search for a pet. The story begins with the old man setting out to find the "prettiest cat in the world" to bring back for his wife. During his journey, he encounters a hill teeming with "hundreds, thousands, millions, and billions and trillions of cats," all of which seem equally beautiful to him. Unable to choose just one, he brings them all home. The sight of so many cats creates chaos, as the house and land quickly become overrun. When the old woman asks which cat is truly the prettiest, the cats argue amongst themselves, leading to a humorous resolution. The cats’ fight for superiority causes them to chase each other away, leaving behind just one small, humble cat that did not participate in the competition. This cat, who is described as plain but kind, becomes the couple’s cherished pet. Millions of Cats is a story about humility, kindness, and the idea that true beauty comes from within. Wanda Gág’s charming, hand-drawn illustrations and rhythmic, repetitive text make it a classic in children’s literature. This book is copyright free and can be downloaded without incurring any cost.
