Publisher's summary

The new book from James and street cat Bob.

"One thing I've known about Bob from the very beginning is that he possesses a wisdom that is unusual, even in cats. In the decade since we met, he's grown even wiser in my eyes. This book is a collection of the insights I've gained during my years with Bob."

In the spring of 2007, busker James Bowen came across an injured ginger tom cat in the hallway of his shelter in north London. What he didn't know was that this would be the start of a friendship that would turn both their lives around, and lead to A Street Cat Named Bob, the international best seller that tells the story of their friendship. The Little Book of Bob is a collection of the wisdom James has learnt from Bob throughout the years, as they go through thick and thin together. From the power of friendship to staying calm and finding the joys in a simple life, let Bob be your guide on how to navigate the ins and outs of life like a wise street cat.

Little Book of Bob

Love listening to the adventures James and Bob had. His story will be immortal. As a retired senior cat lover and companion of 13 rescue cats I can appreciate every tale told. I was so very sad when I learned of his passing. It broke my heart but Bob lived a great life and brought much joy, long live his memory.

Wisdom according to Bob

I love all books by James Bowen and Bob. Narrator Kris Milnes provides a good British accent for the part. This was more of a self-improvement book with a lot of "we all shoulds" and "we all need tos" based on what Bowen has learned from Bob. I enjoyed the stories better, but you will still enjoy this if you love Bob....plus, it's very short.

Can't Get Enough "Bob"

I've read/listened to all of Jame's "Bob" books, and loved them. This one is a welcome addition. He gives little anecdotes about he and Bob's life since the last book. Unfortunately these anecdotes are wrapped in the context of "life lessons" that James gives us. It comes off as a bit preachy, and is completely unnecessary. The anecdotes stand just fine on their own. In fact, I would love to hear more about this phase of his life. The "blowback" from having written these books, and then a whole lot of "Bob and James" stories from the making of his film, and his life post-movie.

Anyway, I still recommend the book. People that are fans will enjoy it.

Great read after the movie

After watching the movie this was a nice audio book to continue learning about the wisdom and companionship of Bob.
