"The story of a beautiful friendship and an international phenomenon begun with Street Cat Named Bob." —Library Journal In spring of 2007, street busker James Bowen found an injured orange tabby in the hallway of his shelter home in North London. Their friendship changed both of their lives and led to the internationally bestselling book A Street Cat Named Bob. But fame hasn't gone to James or Bob's heads. In Bob, James found a model for friendship, steadfastness, balance, and joy that we can all apply to our own lives. The Little Book of Bob is a heartfelt and wholesome book about how to be kinder to ourselves and kinder to the world around us. Cats are amazing creatures, as all animal lovers know. Tender and wise, this is a little book with a big heart. "There's mindfulness, and then there's what I call Bobfulness." —The Sunday TimesPraise for A Street Cat Named Bob "Thank heavens for Bob, whose steady gaze and cool composure are a welcome tonic to the surrounding sentimentality." —The New York Times "A beautiful, never maudlin story of second chances for both man and beast and a poignant testimony to how much caring for someone—or some feline—can give you renewed direction." —Booklist, starred review "A rich, moving story . . . perfect for cat lovers." —Kirkus Reviews "Move over, Marley. A stray cat from north London could be heading for the lap of luxury as the cinema's next box office pet sensation." —The Times (UK) "A warm and poignant memoir." —The Guardian (UK)
