An irresistible and engaging
picture book perfect for story time, and for cat and bookstore lovers alike!
The bookstore cat is
an adorable
. . .
bossy . . .
cuddly cat.
He is everything
from intelligent
and loyal
to naughty
and vocal!
But most of all, the bookstore cat is a well-loved (and well-read) kitty.
Follow his funny antics from A to Z through a day in his bustling,
book-filled shop.
The Bookstore Cat is
based on a Victorian parlor game, The Minister’s Cat, in which players try to
think of adjectives to describe the cat in alphabetical order. Readers can
extend the fun of the book by playing their own version of the game.

What reviewers said
“A real treat for the legion of readers with intersecting loves of books and cats.”
“The best part of the book is its potential for teaching and learning; the less concrete descriptors open the way for vocabulary-building, and once the author has shown them how to play the game, most readers will want to come up with their own alphabets.”
“An alphabetical celebration of the venerable bookstore cat.”
