A search for one cat becomes a crowd of millions
An old couple’s wish for a cat grows into an unexpectedly large dilemma when the old man returns from his search with millions of cats. The story’s repeated counting refrain turns that ever-expanding crowd into its defining feature, while the couple’s struggle to choose a pet gives the tale its simple central problem. With its compact picture-book format and classic children’s-fiction classification, the book centers on loneliness, companionship, and the challenge of choosing among too many possibilities.
