Ep 545 - The Cat Who Saved Books, by Sos...

About this episode

Welcome back, cats and kittens! We have another MEW episode for you to listen to right MEOW! 

The Cat Who Saved Books is a book about books for book lovers. It does have a talking cat in it, and the cat kind-of-sort-of sets events in motion that leads to the saving of books. But "The Teenager Who Saved Books, And Also A Cat Was There Sometimes" is not as good a title. 

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
