Jack the Library Cat
Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

"Read it and purr."--Kirkus Reviews

When 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?
