No, that doesn't look familiar... I remember a pair of children's books - "The King of Kennewick Castle" and "'Quack!' Said the Billygoat" that were weird but mostly just had these gorgeous pictures. And "Blueberrys for Sal" was a favorite, when I was four.

When I was a little older... Robert Lawson (I think) was brilliant - "Rabbit Hill", "Ben and Me" (about the mouse who REALLY came up with all of Ben Franklin's ideas) "Mr. Revere and I" (Paul Revere's horse) "Captain Kidd's Cat", a few others. Hilarious, and he had the oddest style of artwork.

And "Homer Price"! I think that was Robert McClosky and that book was so funny.

I like Robert McCloskey's drawings. I have Make Way for Ducklings. I kind of remember Ben and Me; but I think it was actually Bugs Bunny who helped Ben Franklin discover electricity :)

Then I remember:

Hundreds of cats

Thousands of cats

Millions and billions and trillions of cats!
