This book is about a little boy who wrote a letter to his favorite author. The author wrote him back. The little boy didn't like his remarks.
I think it is titled "Dear Mr. Henshaw" because the boy wrote letters to Mr. Henshaw.

Millions of Cats by Wanda Gag
The old man and woman were lonely so the woman said "we need a cat" so the man walked a far walk. Then came across the hill with trillions of cats and grabbed one. Then before he knew it he gabbed all of them. He took them back to the house and let the cats decide who the prettiest cat was and they all ate each other. Then they went alking and saw one cat left and kept it forever.
I think this book was given this title because it teaches you that prettiness comes from the inside not from the outside.
