Mrs. McTats and her cat, Abner, are living happily together when some new cats come scratching at Mrs. McTatss door. By twos and threes, and then fours and more, the cats come, welcomed by Mrs. McTats (though Abners not so sure about it all!). Just when it seems the house is full to bursting, the cats stop coming. Whew! So many cats! But Mrs. McTats cant help feeling that something -- or someone -- is missing. Then theres one more scratch at the door -- and Mrs. McTats finds just what the family needs to be complete. Alyssa Capucillis playful rhymes, which surprise with an alphabetic twist, combine with Joan Rankins hilarious illustrations, which give each cat a distinct personality, to guarantee hours of reading pleasure.
