Million of Cats

Millions of Cats is a children's book written by Wanda Gág, originally published in 1928 and illustrated by the author herself.

In this charming children's book we follow the story of an old man who decides to bring his wife a cat so that she won't feel lonely.

However, he cannot decide which one to choose because he finds them all beautiful and tender, which leads him to bring home millions of them. This surreal situation leads to a series of comical and unexpected problems.

The story deals with themes of beauty and vanity, and is characterized by repetitive rhyming phrases and brilliant black-and-white illustrations by Wanda Gág.

It is considered one of the first modern children's picture books and a work that has been read and appreciated by generations of readers.

"Once upon a time there was a very old man and a very old woman. They lived in a nice clean house which had flowers all around it, except where the door was. But they couldn’t be happy because they were so very lonely."
