From the stars of A Christmas Gift from Bob, now a major motion
picture with Luke Treadaway, the incredible and heartwarming sequel
to the bestselling A Street Cat Named Bob. 'Close proximity to
animals does wonders for your mental health. Close proximity to
this book will do wonders for it, too.' (Daily Mail) * * * * * * *
'Since Bob has appeared, I've made huge strides in my life. For
more than a decade I was a homeless drug addict. I was lost to the
world and had forgotten what was important in life. Now I've got
myself back on my two feet, but as I put the past behind me, I'm
still stepping unsteadily into the future. I still need help in the
right direction. Bob is always there to offer guidance and
friendship.' (James, on Bob) James and his street cat Bob have been
on a remarkable journey together. In the years since their story
ended in the bestselling A Street Cat Named Bob, James, with Bob's
help, has begun to find his way back to the real world. Almost
every day, Bob provides moments of intelligence, bravery and
humour, at the same time opening his human friend's eyes to
important truths about friendship, loyalty, trust - and the meaning
of happiness. In The World According to Bob, the continuing tale of
their life together, James shows the many ways in which Bob has
been his protector and guardian angel through times of illness,
hardship, even life-threatening danger. As they high five together
for their crowds of admirers, James knows that the tricks he's
taught Bob are nothing compared to the lessons he's learnt from his
street-wise cat. For more stories from James and Bob's adventures,
don't miss The Little Book of Bob, a pocket-friendly compilation of
wisdom from the world's favourite street-wise cat.

Cat traces the relationship between humans and the cat from its
original domestication in ancient Egypt c. 2000 BC, through the
centuries as a utilitarian rodent catcher, its gradual acceptance
as a charming and amiable pet, and its present status as a
companion on a par with the dog. Long before people valued cats,
however, they recognized something special about them. Their
graceful, fluid movements, and their self-detachment even as they
live in our homes, seems to indicate strange, even supernatural
powers. The peculiar fascination of the cat, indeed, is the
diversity of images it projects - at once sweet and ferocious,
affectionate and independent, elegant and earthy, cosily domestic
and eerie. This highly illustrated book, now available in B-format,
has a great deal to offer the enormous number of people who like
and are interested in cats. Unlike many other cat books, it offers
substantial and accurate information about the history of cats and
their presentation in literature and art.
The same 101 hilarious cartoons that appear in the original edition are now in a miniature edition. The works of William Steig, George Price, Sempe, and many others are included.
