Book Review of The Cat Who Came for Christmas

The Cat Who Came for Christmas
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


I did not know when I bought this book who Cleveland Amory was, and took it as just another story of how a cat wormed its way into someone's affections--which is a kind of writing I usually enjoy. This book, and its sequels (I think there were two more about this cat.) are well-written and delightful. The last one will make you cry.

I see that Nos. 2 and 3 are also available here now (6/15/13): The Cat and the Curmudgeon and The Best Cat Ever. If you love cats, get them both.

As I found out later, Cleveland Amory was a great animal lover and the founder of a very special animal sanctuary called Black Beauty Ranch.
