Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
An old couple is lonely - if only they had a pretty white cat! The old man finds a hill covered with cats and brings them home. His wife points out that thay cannot possibly keep them all. The cats get in a fight over who gets to stay, and the couple is left with a scrawny little kitten. With love, the kitten becomes the most beautiful cat in the world. This classic is as popular now as it was when it was first published in 1928.

    cute story

    I don't agree with the last review that it teaches kids that it you are only wanted if you are pretty. Afterall it is the scraggly cat that they keep that becomes the prettiest cat to them. It is one of my son's favorites and it has a cute, sing-songy element to it.

    A Childhood Favorite

    This book deserves more than 5 stars. The verses and illustrations are humourously charming, as we journey with a man who searches for the perfect gift for his wife. It is the humble, unassuming underdog (or under'cat') who turns out to be the perfect gift -- especially after it is cared for and loved. I checked this book out 43 years ago, & it became my favorite book of all time! Wanda Ga'g's illustrations even influenced my childhood crayon drawings -- such as drawing curved rooflines, instead of straight ones. Later in life I bought this book for my own 4 children. That book got loved to pieces (literally), so now I'm ordering another one to read to my grandbaby.

    Not a good message for children

    As a 'cat person', I purchased this book for my neice prior to reading it. After reading it, I tossed it in the garbage. It teaches that you are not wanted unless you are pretty.

    A plan gone wrong.

    A very old man and woman wanted to get one cat. There were too many cats. When he told them to choose the prettiest cat, they all started fighting until only one was left. They gave this cat a home. I think this book is good for other people.
