This is fun for the smaller folks from about age three and up to when they tire of it. It's all about a Mrs. McTat and her kitty. They were happy until, mysteriously, new cats began to scratch at the door, and then they would move in. Mrs. McTat welcomes them all until a last scratch brings the household just what it was missing all along. Then the McTat family is complete! Who could that last scratch be?

A cute and simple story, filled with kitty art and kind hearts.
