About This Book

This children's tale follows a spirited Maltese cat named Ban-Ban and a lively community of cats as they conceive and found their own town, establish civic customs, receive visitors, hold an election, manage rivalries, and celebrate weddings. Episodic chapters blend playful incidents, domestic humor, and gentle satire of civic life as kittens and elder cats execute pranks, form embassies, lead processions, and settle disputes through wit and cooperation. Recurring vignettes highlight distinct feline personalities, social rituals, and communal solidarity, with color illustrations accentuating the whimsical domestic scenes and adventures.
