Uncle Andy's Cats by James Warhola

-->
Warhola, James, Uncle Andy’s Cats. G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 2009. PICTURE BOOK.
Uncle Andy started out with one cat named Hester that he got from a movie star. Later, when he got a second cat named same to keep Hester company, the cats had two litters, for a total of 26 cats. Soon the cats rule the roost. Can Andy find a way to have less cats?
A funny, cute story from a part of Andy Warhol’s life.  An eccentric man that never had a simply solution to anything.  Readers will like the crazy places you find the cats in the book and will enjoy trying to find out where Hester and Sam are. The text is simple, but fun to read. The illustrations truly add another layer to the story. This book is a must-have for any collection. EL (K-3). ESSENTIAL.
