The Book Cat is an incredibly wholesome book about a street cat named Morgan and his time as a Book Cat for a publishing company called Faber and Faber. Set during the London Blitz, Morgan deals with grief and worry resulting from frequent bombings until he finds a home in a publishing house. As the war continues, he does his best to help out his humans and their clients as well as train kittens to become Book Cats for the authors that walk in their door.

This was a fast read but enjoyable regardless. Polly Faber's writing is simple and concise, yet still tells a rich story about a cat's life during such a scary time in history. Clara Vulliamy's illustrations add so much to the story. I often slowed down my pace just to look at pictures longer because they were just SO CUTE!

I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a quick, wholesome story about cats.
