Millions of Cats

Millions of Cats and One Mouse is an illustrated picture book in English designed for shared reading, early English learning, and repeated reading with young learners.

The book brings together two connected stories. Part One: Millions of Cats is adapted from Wanda Gág’s classic public-domain tale, while Part Two: One Mouse is an original companion story by Mara Seronda. Together, the stories follow a little kitten and a little mouse as they find friendship, safety, and a place to belong.

Short sentences, repeated phrases, familiar vocabulary, and visual clues make the stories accessible to beginning English learners. The illustrations also invite children to participate in the story: the little mouse is hidden on seven pages in Part One, with the search becoming gradually more challenging.

The book includes a classroom guide and The Mouse and the Cats, a simple game designed to reinforce animal vocabulary, following directions, turn-taking, and problem-solving.

Designed for Kindergarten–Grade 1 · Ages 5–7, the book can be used for shared reading in classrooms, English-learning settings, and at home.

Millones de gatos. An edition with rhyming Spanish text and accompanying English text

Millones de gatos is a bilingual Spanish–English picture book designed for shared reading in early childhood classrooms and bilingual learning environments.

Both texts appear on each page, with the Spanish version at the top and the English version below. The Spanish text is written in rhyme and intended for reading aloud, while the English text provides a clear, age-appropriate narrative that faithfully conveys the story and meaning. The two versions are carefully aligned to support comprehension and language awareness without oversimplification.

Inspired by the classic tale Millions of Cats by Wanda Gág (1928), this edition combines rhythmic language, repetition, and visual storytelling to encourage natural exposure to both languages before independent reading begins.

The bilingual edition is especially suitable for early years education, dual-language programs, and school libraries seeking high-quality picture books that support oral language development and early bilingual literacy.

The companion activity booklet reinforces comprehension through hands-on, visual activities, making it appropriate for Pre-K and Kindergarten students with little or no prior exposure to either language.
