Millions of Cats
(eBook)
Description
"Millions of Cats" by Wanda Gág is a timeless children's story about an elderly couple seeking companionship through a pet. When the husband sets out to find a cat, he encounters "hundreds of cats, thousands of cats, millions and billions and trillions of cats." Unable to choose just one, he brings them all home. This decision leads to chaos, as the cats begin to fight over who is the prettiest, leaving only one humble, scraggly kitten behind. The book highlights themes of vanity, humility, and contentment. Through its rhythmic text and whimsical illustrations, Gág captures the simplicity of desire and the consequences of excess. The surviving kitten, chosen because of its lack of pride, teaches a gentle lesson about the value of modesty and being true to oneself. "Millions of Cats" remains beloved for its playful repetition, moral undertones, and timeless storytelling, making it a classic that resonates with both children and adults today.
