Book 4 2026 We'll Prescribe You a Cat by Syou Ishida

'Thanks to a restful night's sleep, he felt lighter than he had in a long time. But the desire to avoid going to work lingered. But if I can make it through today... That was his morning mantra. If he could get through today, tomorrow would be easier. He wasn't going to quit.'

For our fourth book of the year I recommend We'll Prescribe You a Cat by Syou Ishida. This is a book about people with issues, especially at work, and cats! It hasn't got too many good reviews so I look forward to hearing your comments on the story and the storytelling. Here is the worksheet.
