Summary

Once upon a time there was an old man and an old woman who were very lonely. They decided to get a cat, but when the old man went out searching, he found not one cat, but millions and billions and trillions of cats! Unable to decide which one would be the best pet, he brought them all home. How the old couple came to have just one cat to call their own is a classic tale that has been loved for generations. Winner of a Newbery Honour, this collector's edition-featuring a heavy interior stock, spot gloss and embossing on the cover, and a thread-sewn binding-will bring this beloved tale to a whole new generation of readers.
