“The story evokes quiet empathy for both the stray cat and the boy who misses his pet. Illustrations in warm, gentle colors heighten the appeal of this pleasing picture book.”

“The text is accessible and fun to read, with humorous phrases (“this was the last whisker”). Art with a water-pastel feeling shows a spacious, welcoming library full of diverse patrons. ”

“Jack is an absolutely endearing cat, with his notched ear and sweet face, and is the epitome
of a misunderstood feline stray who just needs love, friends, and stories.  Highly recommended for lovers of books, libraries, animals, and hopeful, positive tales.”

“This book is a great read. It blends the excitement of going to the library with animals! The illustrations look like color pencil drawings. I appreciated the racial diversity of all the children who come to the library for reading time. Pascal is a curly hair brown boy who comes to the library with his aunt who wears a hijab! It is a very visually inclusive book.”
