Will the Real Book 003 please sign in?


So what IS Book 003 for 2015?

Well, this book has been in my library for a couple (maybe even a few) years and has been overlooked for some reason.  It caught my eye and was perfect!

Book 003 -- honestly, this one is really 003:

Cats in the Belfry

Written by: Doreen Tovey
Narrated by: Joy Gelardi
Length: 3 hrs and 40 mins 
Unabridged Audiobook
Release Date:09-17-08
Publisher: Summersdale Publishers Ltd

I will not spell out the cat's name -- I just listened to the book and can't pronounce it based on its spelling, so it would be useless to tell you her name.  What you do need to know is that she is a Siamese cat.  Anyone who has been owned by a cat knows exactly what that means.  But even those people may not know what it means to be owned by a Siamese cat.
This tale, humorously told and full of love, is short and sweet and wonderful.  The book description says the story was first published over 40 years ago, but I've been unable to find the exact date.  Doreen and her husband, Charles, order, and have installed, a refrigerator just to please the Siamese ...
Talkative, prima donna, queen of the house.  Siamese through and through.  And a laugh-out-loud (not an LOL but an honest guffaw) book -- worthy of listen or read.  But I think you may find the listen the best way to enjoy this book again and again!
