Minnie

Minnie is a wonderful book. Anyone can read it, but I would strongly recommend reading it if you're a cat lover. Being one myself, the plot of this book made me smile. Tibbs, a reporter for a newspaper loves to write about cats but is not supposed to. When Minnie, a young girl, comes along one day and ends up living with him, his job gets much easier. Since Minnie used to be a cat, she gossips with other cats to get news which no humans knew about yet. Minnie is also a handful, but Tibbs and her become great friends. This book is a quick and fun read full of imagination.

I liked this book!

I liked Minnie because it was funny and it shows that cats are smart too

Delightful!

This book was one of the best I have ever read. It is charming and witty ; you will never look at a cat the same way again. Minnie, a cat suddenly turned human, and Mr. Tibbs, her human friend, have exciting adventures throughout the story, which is hinted with humor. The main plot develops into the solving of a crime and then the public revelation of the criminal, a prominent citizen. It is truly a must read for cat lovers and the average reader alike.
