This book shows children that it is okay to make run in their worlds for other things and it is okay to change, even though it is new and scary. John Brown is an adorable dog who belongs to Rose, an older woman or lives on her own, and he does not want anything to do with the midnight cat. One day when Rose falls sick, he realizes that the desire that Rose has for the cat overshadows his need to keep them separate and he invites the cat in. Acceptance makes everyone content in the end.
The story a bittersweet one about lost loves and new loves. John Brown the dog has always been there for Rose and now with the arrival of the Midnight Cat he worries that he will be replaced and no longer needed (no longer loved). Fortunately there's a happy ending for everyone.
A fable about the bond of love and trust, this illustrated story tells about a wolf who is strangely gentle; about the people who would kill, and the one person who would love him.

Apparently it's a "new edition of this classic and beautiful book." Okay, then ...
(Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s). I feel a lot of readers automatically render any book they enjoy 5, but I grade on a curve!… (mere)
