review 1: Homer leaves home when his peace is disrupted and tries to find another quiet place to stay. Surprise! He finds his owner in the public library and finds that he likes that environment. This story in rhyme details Homer's search for quiet and the various places he didn't find it. And while I was contemplating why there weren't more books about a dog in a library my dog's yapping reminded me why. But maybe a hamster or a goldfish or a chameleon....
review 2: 3.5 STARSWell, Homer is a sweetie, that's for sure! He is so sweet and gentle and loves his quiet house and the quiet lady with whom he lives. But, one day he finds himself outside in the big, noisy world. Aaahhh! Will he ever find quiet again? The title gives you a big hint about that ;-)I wanted to... more love this book, but it ended up being just "pretty good" for me. I had expected something more about a cat actually living in the library, and this is more about his adventure in the outside world before he gets to the library. It's cute enough, but I couldn't help feel sorry for poor Homer out there frightened on his own, though the ending is happy. I'm not sure the style of illustrations was really my cup of tea (though the cover and Homer are adorable!). Still, this book will probably appeal to many cat-lovers and library fans. less
