The Cats Go To Market by Joan E. Cass with illustrations by William Stobbs

When the cats get hungry and market day arrives, they just can’t help themselves! Such yummy seafood to had for who who would deny the cats some fat juicy fish-heads? Well, it turned out to be Mrs. Gubbins, who did not like cats. Chaos ensues!

Reviews

“...a most attractive book, with a pointed and well-told story and magnificently vigorous and stylish pictures...Almost alone among contemporary workers in this field (Stobbs) draws with equal assurance and personality the human and animal actors and places them in their setting.” The Junior Bookshelf (London)

“…it is difficult to say which is better, the almost poetic text with its meticulous attention to details, which young children so enjoy, or the perfectly matched illustrations.” Books For Young Children (London)
