The Cat Came Back: A Traditional Song

Old Mister Johnson tries everything he can think of to get rid of a stubborn yellow cat, but the cat always finds its way back home. Adapted from a traditional song, this picture book uses a bouncy, repetitive rhythm to recount the cat's endless return and the man's increasingly creative attempts to send it away. Each effort ends in failure, leading to a series of humorous mishaps that drive the story forward.
