Granny Twinkle introduces breeds of cats, and some history, to a boy who comes to her house to choose a free kitten. She talks about Egyptian cat worship, exporting cats from Egypt to Europe, and cats' efforts to kill plague-carrying rats in the Middle Ages. More cat facts and an activity are appended to this new edition of the previously titled The Kids' Cat Book. Websites.
