Mee-a-ow ! Or Good Advice to Cats and Kittens

Dear H, Mee-a-ow ! Or Good Advice to Cats and Kittens was first published in 1859 by T. Nelson and Sons. This was one of the books that Ballantyne wrote for smaller children. Ballantyne also wrote the short stories The Three Little Kittens, My Mother, and The Robber Kitten all books about cats. For some editions of Mee-a-ow! Ballantyne did the illustrations himself. The song in the beginning of the book was a duet for children that Ballantyne wrote. -Alba Gu Bra, Joshua Titus
