Reach for this book when your child is currently obsessed with collecting every shiny rock on the sidewalk or insists that your family needs 'just one more' pet. This story captures the exuberant, slightly chaotic energy of a child with a big idea and an even bigger appetite for more. It is a perfect choice for navigating the boundary between enthusiastic dreaming and the practical reality of over-abundance. The story follows a narrator who begins with zero cats and a very organized plan to collect them. Using a bit of tuna as bait, the collection grows from one to dozens, until the types of 'cats' being attracted become increasingly wild and large. It is a lighthearted exploration of the concept of 'too much of a good thing,' making it an excellent bridge for discussing boundaries, the consequences of our choices, and the joy of letting go. Parents will appreciate the humor and the gentle reminder that more isn't always better, especially when it comes with big teeth.
