Fun and educational for all cat lovers, young and old

I'm not a kid and loved the book. It not only has great illustrations and is fun, but also is educational about how calicos are colored, what whiskers are for, etc.

Sure, this is a counting book!

One tail, two big eyes ... all the way up to 20 wet paw prints! This picture book combines the act of counting with cat facts; in particular, it's about calico cats colored orange and black and white. The narrator is a mouse named Willy Whiskers, though he fades away from the focus as the pages turn. What's remarkable here is Tildes' artwork. These cats are so furry, you almost expect to be able to pet them. For children, especially those with a new pet ... but quite suitable for cat lovers of all ages.

Counting on Calico

This book is wonderfully illustrated book that tells all about the behavior of calico cats and cats in general. I loved reading it. It is not a counting book, but does have the munbers 1-20 at the top of the pages.
