When You Hear Meow - Large Print by Alec Gould (Paperback)

About the Book

"'A man reflects on his marriage and a cat and teddy bear who en livened it...' The manner in which Gould has Don anthropomorphize both Alec and Ted-D is consistently touching and will doubtless strike a chord with the cat owners who are the book's natural audience. The story shifts very confortably from quotidian household details and family affairs to deeper philosophical considerations, as when a chat with Alec moves quickly from the surprise revelation that all cats can read to the question of the 'nine lives' cats have: 'What number life am I on? It does not matter to you, nor to me,' Alec tells Don. 'It only matters that we enjoy life as we do. With one another, with love'"

Book Synopsis

Welcome to the author's world in which this story is based upon. Happy, sad, funny. Talking kitties and teddy bears. A world in which reality can become something more if one listens closely.

A book that needs to be read today to fully enjoy the happiest of books when the sequel follows. As author Alec Gould would say, "Welcome to my world. Enjoy. "What do you mean, what number am I on?

Excerpt:

"You know, what number life. 1, 2, 3 or higher?"

"First off, we never discuss that. Second, we never dwell on that. Third, and this you should know, one should never waste their lives dwelling on matters they cannot do anything about. What number life am I on? It does not matter to you, nor to me. It only matters that we enjoy life as we do. With one another, with love."

Readers fifteen to one hundred fifteen will find this delightful, heart-warming story difficult to put down.
