Wonderful book for kids and parents reading to them

Book is about a cat who loves books because the pictures are fascinating. But once she sits with kids who read the books to her she learns that the words she cannot read contain the stories the pictures are about. She is not allowed in the library but once the librarian sees how much the cat helps the kids gain confidence in reading by reading to her she makes Cat Story Time at the library and the cat lives happily ever after being told all of the stories she could ever hope for. A wonderful heartwarming book
