Synopsis
A rhyming, cat-counting extravaganza, ending with a big surprise!
"I have one cat,
A fat cat, a fun cat.
I have one cat . . .
My sister has two."
Young readers will chuckle with delight as they count the cats on each rhyming page—then, in both words and numerals, add their accumulated numbers at the end of the book.

About the Author
Betsy Lewin has illustrated more than fifty books for children, some of which she wrote as well. Among her work is the successful Dumpy La Rue, written by Elizabeth Winthrop, and the popular A Houseful of Christmas, written by Barbara Joosse. Ms. Lewin is the illustrator of the Caldecott Honor Book Click, Clack, Moo written by Doreen Cronin. Cat Count was originally published in 1981 with black-and-white illustrations. Between trips to exotic places to do research for their books, Betsy Lewin and her husband, artist Ted Lewin, live in Brooklyn, New York.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-Originally published in black and white (Dodd, Mead, 1981; o.p.), this full-color version of a counting book glows with warmth and visual humor. Beginning with one very fat feline, the narrator enumerates an ever-growing list of pets that belong to family members and friends. The simple text is filled with rhyme and rhythm: "My brother has two./Two cats,/True cats,/Wild and ballyhoo cats,/Full-of-derring-do cats." The accompanying spread shows these animals in action, one riding a unicycle and the other decked out in a pink tutu, walking across a tightrope. There is a sister with three cats dressed for a party, an uncle with four felines that live in a store, and a cousin with five "Jive cats" that play jazz instruments and dance beneath the moon. Here the progression pauses, the animals are added, and all 15 are grouped together for easy tallying. The count then continues up to 10, culminating in another illustration that incorporates all 55 felines. As a final surprise, the first fat cat has five kittens, adding up to "Too many cats." The loose, pen-and-ink and watercolor cartoons perfectly match the lighthearted tone of the text. From the title page, which shows an amusing rear-end view of three kitties with tails proudly held aloft, to the action-filled group scenes, Lewin perfectly captures the elegant postures and mischievous nature of these self-assured creatures. A fun choice for cat lovers and children who are building their math skills.
