A NEWBERY HONOR BOOK • OVER 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD! The original American classic with a refrain that millions of kids love to chant: Hundreds of cats, thousands of cats, millions and billions and trillions of cats.

"A black-and-white masterpiece."—The New York Times

Wanda Gág's enchanting tale of the very old man who went off in search of the prettiest cat in the world for his wife and returned instead with millions to choose from has become an American classic, widely recognized as the first modern picture book.

With its charming illustrations and rhythmic, singsong refrain, Millions of Cats remains as beloved today as it was when this original edition first appeared almost a century ago.
