October 24, 2008: This new Hobo Finds a Home is a very good book. It has the same story as the first version of the book but with different more colorful pictures. I really want to buy a copy of this version to go with my copy of the other one. The story is about Hobo who leaves home, goes on adventures, gets lonely, finds a new friend and gets a warm bed to sleep in. It's a very good book for anyone who loves cats and it's really well written. The story is great, the pictures are really good and I really like the way the writing looks. This is a terrific book!
The perfect book for cat lovers and children of all ages!by for_a_dancer

October 24, 2008: Same great story, terrific new illustrations!! "Hobo Finds a Home" (the new version) is still a completely adorable book! Written for children by a cat (and cats, as anyone who's ever shared a house with a cat knows, never grow up!) it combines beautiful, extremely colorful pictures with easy to read, almost poetic at times, text that appears to have been written by a child (or a cat). It tells the story of Hobo, who runs away from home, has adventures in the wild, grows cold and lonely, runs into a 'spice kitty', and then finds a new friend, a new home and a warm spot by the fire (and what more can anyone, cat or human, ask for from life?!). It's written from the cat's point of view but is easily translatable to the lives of children who often do feel the urge to see what else is out there in the world -- Hobo's adventures (and misadventures) make a wonderful story that children will enjoy reading and parents will love to read with their children. I would recommend this book to anyone (cat lover or not) although anyone who's ever been owned by a cat will definitely want a copy!
