Millions of Cats by Wanda Gág
4.0

This is lovely. Fantastic illustrations, fantastic story. Unsurprisingly to anyone who has them, multiple cats can be evil little terrors. They squabble and gorge, and sending a pet hoarder off to the local cat hill to choose one is a recipe for disaster such that even the hoarder comes to see the error of his ways. One cat, however, treated well and looked after, is the happy pet the hoarder and his wife were looking for, and the whole thing's presented with such good humour and such a sense of the ridiculous that it's a pleasure to read.
