The cover of the the Wanda Gag classic, “Millions of Cats,” is on display at the Wanda Gag House.
NEW ULM — Many of the people who visit its author’s childhood home in New Ulm recognize the book “Millions Of Cats.”
Just ask Wanda Gag House docent Art Schulz, a retired professor of children’s literature who now takes those visitors on tours of author Wanda Gag’s house. He said few visitors to the house have never heard of the book.
The hardcover and paperback copies are the two items in the house’s gift shop area that Schulz has to reorder most often. T-shirts and sweatshirts with the book’s title and its author’s name are also popular, he said.
