Lucy and Too Many Cats — Barbara Walsh

"Lucy and Too Many Cats." Is a delightful picture book about the trials and tribulations of a little girl who is charged with taking care of her own two cats and her brothers three cats while he goes off to war. Through the sometimes-chaotic experiences of having a house full of cats for many months, "Lucy and Too Many Cats" was conceptualized. The lesson is one of "loving and letting go," a concept that can be generalized to many of life's unexpected experiences. The delightful illustrations of Aaron Rusch add to the drama and personality of each kitty.
