Papa Gatto: An Italian Fairy Tale

Papa Gatto, a feline who advises royalty, needs a nanny for his kittens. His advertisement, "Choose your payment, no amount too great," attracts the lovely but greedy Sophia, whose hiring ends in dust, cobwebs, neglected kittens, and a new advertisement that brings Beatrice, Sophia's good-hearted stepsister. The arrival of the "kind and generous prince" results in mistaken identity and romantic confusion, but all ends well, thanks to Papa Gatto's special matchmaking talent. A wonderful picture book for older readers.
