Books like Millions of cats by Wanda Gág
Millions of Cats, written and illustrated by Wanda Gag, follows an old man and his wife who decide to bring a cat into their home. The husband, engrossed in finding the most beautiful cat, gathers an astonishing number of felines. When the wife points out the practical difficulties of caring for so many cats, the responsibility falls to the cats themselves to determine who is the prettiest. Gag’s simple black‑ink illustrations, with repeated lines and a sing‑song refrain, support the story’s playful rhythm and make it a perfect read‑aloud for children ages four to eight. The book’s design and narrative style earned it a Newbery Honor.
