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—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.

We have had fun reading it

February 14, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I had this book as a child so I wanted to share it with my 3 year old. We have had fun reading it, although I'd forgotten that all the cats eat each other in the end. He didn't seem bothered by it, which just goes to show that toddlers are ruthless. This will probably not go into frequent rotation here simply because it doesn't grab his attention the way the newer books with more colorful illustrations and engaging stories do. But I'm glad we have it anyway, it was a fun memory for me to revisit with him.

Cute classic

May 31, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Great classic about a husband and wife team that decide they need a cat in their lives because, they are lonely without children. So the husband sets out to get one cat for the house. In typical man-style he returns with many many more cats then they need. Specifically, he returns with hundreds of cats, thousands of cats, millions and billions and trillions of cats. They decide they can't support them all chaos pursues. Illustrations are very cute and memorable. Hoping it will allow my toddler to understand the increasing quantities of larger numbers. Fingers crossed. lol

Fave from my childhood

September 23, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I love this weirdo book. The story, the type, the illustrations. All of it combine to make a sort of dreamlike, surreal and indulgent kind of story and feeds my subconscious need to see millions and trillions and billions of cats all grouped together.

This classic book was written before the Newberry and Caldecott awards began. I think it could have won for the
story and or illustrations. I rate it as one of the top ten children's books of all time. A must-read about humility, as well as,
hundred, thousands, and millions of cats!

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is the best book in the world to get kids excited about language. The repetition allows them to easily learn the refrain, which they will say with you as you read out loud. Then, you might ask them to write or make up a story of their own with a similar repetition. It's an age old story that still speaks to kids and delights them.

Still irresistable after all these years

November 11, 2002

Format: School & Library BindingVerified Purchase

How many of us remember way back in our early childhood, chanting out loud along with our parents, "Hundreds of cats, thousands of cats, millions and billions and trillions of cats..." "Millions of Cats" was one of my favorite books when I was very young, and it was one of the first books I bought for my own son when he was in preschool. It's a perennial favorite about a lonely old couple who decided to get a cat for companionship, and ended up collecting every cat extant for miles around. "Cats here, cats there, cats and kittens everywhere"... When the cats fight tooth and claw to decide who's the prettiest, the sole survivor is a scrawny little kitten who hid from the fray, thinking it couldn't possibly be selected anyway. But a little love can do wonders. The old couple decides that out of "millions and billions and trillions of cats", not one was as pretty as this one. An enchanting classic that will be around as long as there are children and grownups who love a good story.
