Publisher Description

When the youngest of three sons inherits only a cat, he believes he is destined to die of starvation. But the cat turns out to be rather an extraordinary animal. Not only is he able to speak, he is also a highly resourceful and cunning creature. The cat asks for a pair of boots and a sack. He uses the sack to catch rabbits and partridges which he presents to the King as gifts from the “Marquis of Carabas.” The King is curious to meet the mysterious Marquis who sends such generous gifts. The cat manages to arrange a meeting … and by a clever plan also arranges fine clothes, a castle, land, and a princess for his master.

"Beautifully illustrated (absolutely deserving the Caldecott Medal it earned), this version of the story has the title character firmly in the driver's seat. My son's favorite line is when Puss barks at the peasant workers that if they don't do as he says he'll "turn them into sausage meat!" After we read this book for the first time about a year ago, the story became our bedtime standard."

    " 37 months - Beautifully illustrated and a classic story that O loves. The text seems too large for the page but this would make for a good book for kids to read or follow along while pointing out words. Many stories have text that is too small to do this successfully. "

    " Really like the story. It was one of my favourites as a kid and have read it innumerable times. The good thing is that the picture which accompanies the story lines in every page give the essence of the story making it so clear and exact(specially for children to understand). "
