Bookroo's summary
A stray cat, drawn to story time at the library, faces a challenge: animals aren't allowed inside. Enter Pascal, a new boy in town, who secretly brings the feline in. As the cat finds a name and a home, a group of children eagerly read to him. Will this unlikely friendship change the librarian's mind and create a purr-fect ending?
From the publisher
“Read it and purr.”–Kirkus ReviewsWhen a story-loving stray meets a new kid in town, they become fast friends–and reading buddies.A stray cat keeps turning up for story time at the library, but animals aren’t allowed in the building, and besides, the children’s librarian is not a cat person. Then a boy named Pascal crosses paths with the friendly feline and sneaks him inside. Soon enough, the stray cat gets a name, a home, and a group of kids clamoring to read to him. Could life be any more purr-fect?
