From the Book

"In a great big house on the edge of town lived a tiny old woman named Mrs. Brown. She had no children, she had no mother, she had no sister, she had no brother. She had no chickens, she had no rats. What Mrs. Brown had were...cats, cats, cats."

About the Book

Cats, Cats, Cats is the unusual story about a crazy old woman, named Mrs. Brown, who's crazy about cats - lots of them! She has so many cats, that they are everywhere, doing everything imaginable - and even things you couldn't imagine, like eating spaghetti! Mrs. Brown takes great care of her cats, cats, cats. But unbeknownst to her, all her cats, cats, cats are up partying all night while she's sleeping - that would explain their sleeping all day! Even if Mrs. Brown knew of their antics, it's just the same - she loves her cats and they love her.

From the Correspondent - Stacey Lloyd

Cats, Cats, Cats is a cute story any preschooler would enjoy. The colorful illustrations of all the cats leaves you wondering "Just how many types of cats are there!?" My son liked following the story to see what the cats would be doing next. We enjoyed trying to count the many cats that Mrs. Brown has, but there's so many, who's to know? Cats, Cats, Cats reminds me of a woman I once knew who had a houseful of cats. She was quite weird, too. But, you have to appreciate the love she had for her cats. This is a fun read since the story incorporates rhyming and interesting illustrations. Add it to your preschooler's collection of good books to read before bedtime.
