Had me in tears after looking at the beautiful pictures of this lovely cat that will live forever in our hearts 💕

I stumbled upon Bailey’s Instagram by accident two months prior to his passing. What an absolute lift to my day to see his posts with Abby and Hannah, yes even Claire. (The bathtub photo bomb always wins my heart!). I pre-ordered his book right away, anxiously waiting it’s arrival. What a charming read, and the delightful pictures of him with the girls just captivated by his love for them.I only wish my two children were toddlers again, so I could read this book and share every night before bed. They are 25 & 27 now. However, since they both are cat lovers . . . I will order two more Bailey books and hold on to them for that special day they are ready for them. So quit reading these reviews, you won’t be disappointed! The pictures are awesome, story is precious, and share with you Bailey, No Ordinary Cat. Go see him on Instagram!! This book is perfect for reading to toddlers, young ....and old!!!! Cat lovers, of course! It is a keeper for sure!! Children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, kids .... adults! Loved by any age.Bailey will always win new hearts every Day!!

The love of a cat for his girls leaps from the page and fills your heart with Joy. Bailey truly was ectraordinary - the biggest personality and biggest heart contained in one small body. This book will make you laugh and cry as you see Bailey let Abby and Hannah do anything to and with him, because he loved them and knew they loved him right back. A true character, Bailey is unforgettable to those who never met him but were able to adore him from afar through Erin's wonderful pictures.This book will be loved by kids and adults alike.

My 2 cats and I loved this book and it even made them want to take a cat nap like Bailey. :) Bailey was an incredible kitty with an amazing family who showed him so much love. He was so special and just loved being with his humans no matter what they were up to whether that be bath time, a tea party or eating breakfast at the table. His story truly touched my heart and I cried when I heard of his passing because I felt like I knew him in some way. The love and joy that we receive from our fur babies is real and they really are members of our family. I love seeing Bailey’s photos and all the memories that he shared with his family. This photo book will help him live on in our hearts forever. Any cat or animal lover will love this book.

I found Bailey and his family on Instagram and instantly fell in love with them. When Bailey's mom Erin announced she was writing a book about Bailey, I was so excited. I preordered the book months in advance and it was definitely worth the wait. Orange cats have always been my favorite because of the incredible bond they have with their owners and their pure charisma, and this sweet boy was no different. This book is like a scrapbook of his life with his human family, accompanied by funny and silly captions. When I got the book in the mail, I couldn't wait to read it. It is a quick read and definitely a pick me up if you need to smile. You can't help but fall in love with Bailey and his human siblings, this kitty was definitely no ordinary cat. You can feel the love through the pages. After reading his book, I snuggled my fur babies a little closer and a little harder that night. Orange cats are the best cats. Keep up the great work Erin, you really know how to make people smile. =^..^=

Like so many others, I first discovered Bailey during his "You are my sunshine" fame on social media. I then realized he had a following on both Facebook and Instagram, and I became one of his adoring fans. I've been a cat-lover my entire life, and understand the love and happiness a devoted pet can bring to your life. The author's family is so very fortunate that Bailey brought them so much joy, and now we get to share Bailey and his love vicariously through this adorable little book (and through the ongoing social media posts).Set your expectations correctly that this is not a coffee table book; this is a small picture book with photos and captions that are in turn heartwarming and humorous. The spectrum of Bailey's extraordinary personality is on display, and it seems there really wasn't anything this kitty wouldn't do, as long as he was with his family while he did it. What an amazing purrsonality he had!I'll definitely be sharing this book with fellow feline fanatics, as kitty-love like this shouldn't be contained.

I really enjoyed this book. I have followed this kitty and his family for about a year now. Bailey has really touched my heart and have loved following him on Facebook. Erin, his owner has done a remarkable job capturing him and her 3 children, mostly the oldest, Abby, (who is no ordinary child as well. :) The bond between these two has made me laugh and cry, especially since Bailey passed away before book came out. So sad! I would recommend to all, especially cat lovers and I think its a great book for young children( maybe a classroom book gift), to look at the love between animal and humans. What a treasure and blessing Bailey was and thank you Erin Merryn for sharing with the world your precious family!
