Book Review - 'The Bookshop Cat' by Cindy Wume

Wow this is adorable.

A little cat who loves reading just happens to find and get a job at a bookshop. Just like that.

This black cat is ridiculously lucky! He's living the dream without even trying!

Everything about 'The Bookshop Cat' is cute. The artwork, the cats, the other animals, the children, the books, the bookshop itself (specifically a children's bookshop, so apparently only for children (???)) - the whole book about cats and reading books screams and radiates cute. It's wholesome, soft, snuggly, comfy, cuddly and cosy. It's a precious, doughy, squashy, toddling, fluffy baby of a picture book.

There's a supportive family message to appreciate about it, as well.

The Bookshop Cat's passion is so infectious and inspiring.

So, final verdict: Simple, colourful, and CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE. Highly recommended for all ages.


'[...] with a book, you can go anywhere and be anything!'


'The Bookshop Cat loves his job, and if you happen to pass by, then stop and listen.

You're sure to hear a loud, contented purr coming from inside.'


Final Score: 3.5/5
