Homer's Odyssey

Fans of DEWEY: THE SMALL-TOWN LIBRARY CAT WHO TOUCHED THE WORLD will want to add this to their collection. Renée Raudman gives a warm delivery to this love story of human and cat. From the moment Cooper's vet talks her into taking on the tiny blind kitten, despite the two she's already got, Homer steals her heart--and the listener's. The author's delight in Homer's accomplishments and bravery shine through in Raudman's loving, joyful narration. Cooper even finds Homer's no-fear attitude personally inspiring. Raudman is the perfect match for the first-time author's plainspoken text. This story of the powerful connection so many of us feel to our pets and the way they can change our lives will speak to animal lovers everywhere. D.G. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
