ReplyDeleteHi to all. THis is my first comment here I guess.
ReplyDeleteI check your blog almost every day and it's great.
I am a chidren book illustrator from Portugal. Love cats. Wanda Gag is brilliant. Te one that I know best of Gag is "The Funny Thing".
New to me.
ReplyDeleteMy cat-lover son would be so thrilled to add this to our shelves!
ReplyDeleteI don't know this book... But would love to have it in our collection... My kids love cats, and I plan on doing a Dr. Seuss "Cat in the Hat" and all sorts of whiskered cats themed party for my daughter in December. This would be a great gift for her. have a great day.
ReplyDeleteAlmost every day, you bring back a memory. Thanks
ReplyDeleteGreat story, wonderful illustrations make us really want this book for our growing collection.
ReplyDeleteI love Wanda Gag's books. My favorites are this one and "Gone is Gone".
ReplyDeleteExcellent- I love this book.
ReplyDeleteI've always liked this book but I'd have to say my favorite Wanda Gag book would be Nothing At All. That is a vintage book I'd love to find.
