this book was the best! it's basically a bunch of adorable photos of bub with a little storyline to go along with them. i thought i would include a few *spoilers* so you can see how worth it getting this book is!
bub lands on earth from her home planet, bub ub bub:
she eventually finds her master/slave, mike:
saddest part of the book right here:

So, I pre ordered this book the second I could and have been impatiently awaiting its arrival for a long time! And I will tell you now I was not let down!
This is such a sweet little book about the most heart stoppingly, mind blowingly cute cat I have ever seen. Written by Bub herself (No really, she's got opposable thumbs and mind powers, its possible just go with me on this) this is a cute little story of how Bub came to earth and is full of high quality, adorable images. It really does make your heart ache when you see her sweet little face, its one of those 'I just can't take how cute you are' moments.
There is no reason anyone can give this book less than 5 stars, and if you disagree i'm very sorry to break it to you, but you must be lacking a soul. I will admit to being a dog person, but Bub breaks down all barriers! She really is that special.

This book is almost as amazing as BUB herself (and that's pretty amazing). Lots of pictures of the happiest cat on this or any other planet (that would be BUB), funny captions (I actually laughed out loud at a couple), plus cameos from Smoosh and Colonel Meow! What's not to love? GOOD JOB, BUB!

Good job, Bub

I love Lil Bub! She is my favorite celebrity cat. She was the runt of her litter and was born with many defects, including dwarfism. Against all odds, Bub has thrived thanks to her human, Dude. This book was so adorable, just like Bub!

This is a great "autobiography" of a dwarf cat who game from another planet and really believes in himself. I laughed all the way through it.

Lil Bub was just the cutest. This little book is adorable. ❤

It is a wonderful cat that has struggled too much with life, an example to follow I could never stop reading it until the end.

My last review of 2015, the one that means I have at least put stars on 45 books this year on Goodreads (and I intend to do this again next year, by the way), goes to Li'l Bub's book. It's by Mike Bridavsky, but you won't find his name on the cover. He's better known to most of the world as Bub's Dude, and he loves this little cat like nothing else.
If you aren't familiar with Bub and her story, you can find her on YouTube, or you can just go straight to her website. She's a cat with dwarfism and other special needs, born feral and adopted by her Dude at a young age. Her story is either heartwarming or glurge, depending on your cynicism level. I find it falls squarely into the realm of AWWWWW. It made me feel better. That's not a small thing.
This is a book of pictures of Bub in various situations. A series of talented photographers have gotten really cute shots of Bub with various props, pretending she is a space alien visiting earth. It's a great book for kids, especially if you want to support cats with special needs (a portion of the proceeds go to Bub's foundation for special needs cats) or if you have a kid with special needs who needs a pick-me-up from an adorable feline. We've been using it as a springboard to talk about disabilities and respect in our house.
If you're looking for a read, this isn't for you. If you're looking for a cute and fun gift for a cat lover or a kid with money going to a good cause, snag it. If you want to have a book like that around the house to entertain either of the above, pick it up too. Four of five stars.

I'm not even a cat person, but when I saw this book for just a dollar at the dollar store I knew I had to have it. I don't know who you are Lil Bub, but you are the cutest cat I have ever seen. I saw the cover, and fell in love with Bub instantly. She is a very unique looking cat, and her story made me smile. This book made me smile. I recommend it for animal lovers who need some cheering up. It's definitely nice for a quick pick me up. I'm glad I bought it.

Super Cute.
My cat was a bad boy while I read this. He ran around the house while scratching up the floor and panting like a dog. It was pretty odd ;)

This is the most important book you will read this year or any other year, but I probably didn't even have to waste my time telling you that.

I love Lil Bub and her Dude. This was a cute book, and it featured a few cameos. Full colour photos, and amusing text.
The only complaint I have is that it wasn't long enough. But I guess that isn't fair because too much Bub is never enough.

Thank you to my local secondhand bookstore for having this book for .70 cents. I love lil bubb and this was a cute little coffee table type book to spend a few minutes enjoying. I really liked the inclusion of additional adorable pets.

I love bub, loved seeing pics and the cute story. But I wish this was more about the struggles and triumphs of her daily life. Like in depth.

After Lil Bub crosses the rainbow bridge, my daughter asked for something from Bub’s shop for the holidays. So I got her this book, and it’s adorable. RIP, Bub.
