The story of a man who wanted to do housework : gone… av Wanda Gág

A cute little read I received as a holiday gift. The story and illustrations were very cute. I liked learning more about the author & thought it was neat she shared a cherished childhood fairytale from her memory and translated it into a tiny illustrated story. Fun to think this was first published in 1935. Will make a fun “coffee table” book & a quick one to share!

Millions of Cats av Wanda Gag

I learned that this is the oldest American children's picture book still in print. It is an enjoyable read with great illustrations. This book has won a Newbery Award. It has an interesting plot wherein an old man wants to bring his wife the most beautiful cat but cannot decide. The cats follow him home and fight each other in jealous rages. One cat survives and becomes their pet.
