Synopsis
When a poor miller dies, he has nothing to leave his son but a cat—but, fortunately, it’s a very smart cat. With just a pair of boots, a feathered hat, and a cloth bag, the wily Puss changes his master’s luck, transforming him from a peasant into a prince.
John Cech and Bernhard Oberdieck, who created the critically acclaimed Classic Fairy Collection’s version of The Princess and the Pea, have teamed up once again to present a clever and enchanting retelling of one of the oldest fairy tales of all.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3—Cech's retelling lacks the elements of resourcefulness and quick-wittedness that have made this story so popular for generations. The Puss in traditional versions craftily lures a rabbit into a sack or partridges into snares before presenting them to the king. Here Puss simply steals the food. In the traditional versions, Puss cons an ogre into transforming himself into a mouse, leaps upon him, and eats him. In this telling, the mouse-ogre remains alive in the walls of his own castle, living on cheese that Puss leaves him. The traditional Puss is a tricky braggart. Cech's Puss is namby-pamby, and the stiffly postured figures in Oberdieck's watercolor illustrations fail to invigorate the prose.—Miriam Lang Budin, Chappaqua Public Library, NY
