best book review in the whole world

This is the best book review in the whole world:

This is the best book that I have ever read. It involves a cat ghost who helps children in all of the different ages up until modern times. If I were you, I would read this book. People might think this is a chilling tale about a ghost, but it is a very funny tale about friendship. My mom read it when she was little and she read it to me. Someone stole it from our library, so now we can't read it anymore. There are no other books like it. This is the best book in the whole world.from Camille

Ideal... but there are only a few copies and they are over 200 bucks. Clearly that's why people steal it from the library. Profit, or fit of nostalgia. I bet I can find it around here somewhere.

There's a very expensive copy on eBay, but the seller has uploaded lots of photos, if you're interested:

Ooh, and there are other books by the same author, some of which are much cheaper, like item #260014293786, "The Lion-Hearted Kitten". And prints!
Item #7406271496, "Antique Beauty", with a description on the back that... "fat old women should not be allowed in sculpture galleries" is completely misogynist, and I'm really not sure it was the artist's intent.

And I'm really spamming you, but there's a complete story by Peggy Bacon that you can read, since the eBay seller uploaded a photo of it, and it all fits on the one card:

That's so awesome... Thanks Ide! I read "The Popular Pet" just now and realized I've read it before. It's a great story.

I also know her drawing style so I must have read others.
