Okay, don't get me wrong!  I am not dreaming of Christmas...far from it!  But how could I possibly pass up these two books when I spied them at the library?  

Both are darling stories: Oliver tells his own 'story', while Ben's human narrates theirs.  I'm not going into details, because I want folks to read these books without knowing much beyond the titles.

I recommend them both!

  2. Cats and Christmas... They do seem to go together, don't they? (And with the hot weather we've been having, I am dreaming of autumn right now, not quite Christmas.)

  7. I read both of these and loved them, but my favorite is Cleveland Amory's The Cat Who Came for Christmas.
