Meilo So
Who ever heard of a cat so greedy it swallowed its friend, the parrot, then a nosy old woman, a farmer and his donkey, and even the sultanâ€™s royal wedding procession? Meilo Soâ€™s hungry, irascible tabby just opens his mouth andâ€”,gobble, gobble, slip, slop,â€”down its gullet they go. Each page shows the cat getting fatter and fatter until two small land crabs put an end to the catâ€™s greed. With a glorious gatefold pull-out, So wraps up her story with all of the victims, including the sultanâ€™s elephant, tumbling out of the catâ€™s tummy as good as new. ,Retold from an Indian folktale, itâ€™s as preposterous as â€œThe Old Lady Who Swallowed a Flyâ€ and much more fun. Children will join in the ,gobble, gobble, slip, slop, refrain and want to look at the irresistible artwork again and again.
