Millions of Cats by Wanda Gág

Another of my childhood favorite books, as a cat addict myself, I can appreciate it.

This book written (and illustrated) by Wanda Gág in 1928. It won a Newbery Honor award in 1929, one of the few picture books to do so. Millions of Cats is the oldest American picture book still in print as of 2020. 

This is the story of a lonely couple, and old man and his wife. They decide to get a cat to keep them company, and the man sets out to find the perfect, prettiest cat for them. However, he finds not one, but hundreds, thousands, millions of cats!

This is the story of how they choose the perfect cat for them... out of millions of cats.
