Mom found this book at Big Bad Wolf Books Sale. She captivated by the book but left it there due to tight budget and Sabio already chose books by himself, too. She just couldn't forget it. Until she met this book again on the next year and finally bought it.

Desser was a sweet cat. Formerly, his human called him Dexter. When a baby arrived at his human house, Dexter's name became Desser. It didn't matter because he finally had a new best friend.

Sometimes Desser could be mad, or little bad, or bored, he wasn't always nice. His new little human couldn't be mad for a long time to him, too. They were almost always together. And when they weren't, Desser was always be there, waiting for her.

Poor Dexter, one day he wasn't able to accompany his not-so-little human anymore.

Sabio suddenly cried out loud. He sat on the floor, next to Mom who was re-selecting the books on their cart at a book sale. This book was on his lap.

No wonder, its illustrations are so detailed. Even Sabio who wasn't able to read yet (at that time), could understand the whole story just by looking to the illustrations. He looked so sad and couldn't stop his cry. Coincidentally, his first pet also had gone forever on the previous week.

A beautiful sad story, about joy, memories, friendship, family, pet, and lost, coupled with abundant charming illustrations. Mom adores the homey touch, presented by its lovely "patchwork" patterns. Desser The Best Ever Cat is one of Sabio and Mom most favourite books ever.

Mama menemukan buku ini di Big Bad Wolf Books Sale. Terpesona tapi tidak membelinya karena anggaran yang ketat dan Sabio sudah memilih buku-bukunya sendiri. Mama tidak bisa lupa dan tetap browsing sana-sini. Sampai Mama bertemu buku ini lagi di tahun berikutnya dan akhirnya membelinya.

Desser adalah kucing yang manis. Dulu, pemiliknya menamainya Dexter. Ketika seorang bayi hadir di rumah pemiliknya, nama Dexter berubah menjadi Desser. Tidak masalah karena dia akhirnya punya sahabat baru.

Terkadang Desser bisa marah, atau sedikit buruk, atau bosan, dia tidak selalu baik. Namun, teman kecil barunya tidak bisa marah lama-lama kepadanya. Mereka hampir selalu bersama. Dan ketika tidak, Desser selalu ada di sana, menunggunya.

Kasihan Dexter, suatu hari dia tidak bisa lagi menemani temannya tumbuh bersama.

Sabio tiba-tiba menangis dengan keras. Dia duduk di lantai, di sebelah Mama yang memilih kembali buku-buku di gerobak mereka di sebuah penjualan buku. Buku ini ada di pangkuannya.

Tidak heran, ilustrasinya sangat detail. Bahkan Sabio yang belum bisa membaca (pada waktu itu), dapat memahami keseluruhan cerita hanya dengan melihat ilustrasi buku ini. Dia tampak sangat sedih dan tidak bisa berhenti menangis. Kebetulan, hewan peliharaan pertamanya juga telah pergi selamanya seminggu sebelumnya.

Kisah sedih yang indah, tentang kegembiraan, kenangan, persahabatan, keluarga, hewan peliharaan, dan kehilangan, ditambah dengan ilustrasi menarik yang berlimpah. Ibu sangat menyukai sentuhan homey, yang disajikan dengan pola "tambal sulam" yang indah. Desser The Best Ever Cat adalah salah satu buku paling favorit Sabio dan Mom sepanjang masa.
